I'm fascinated by people whose vocation in life is to help people. Psychologists, social workers, counselors and "do-gooders" come to mind. I am nothing like them, and to some extent I feel guilty and inadequate. At the same time, I also believe that these people's desire to help people is pathological, and by that I mean, and I don't mean it in a derogatory sense, that something "abnormal" in their brains makes them care way too much about people (or animals or the environment). More than a defect I see it as a gift, and even though I'm so unlike those people, I often empathize with them; for example, I also experience feelings of indignation when I witness an injustice, but unfortunately I don't feel the desire to do anything about it. I just think about the injustice, empathize with the victims, suffer, forget about it, and move on with my life.

Can someone please expand a little more on this subject?
