Because they actually make the world a better place. Even if it's just one person's world.

I honestly don't know, I question myself every time I do

I think it comes from a desire to appear virtuous

Though I never tell anyone about good deeds I do since that seems kinda disgusting to do. And I don't want to have only done a good deed for the purpose of impressing people, which seems to contradict what I just said

Idk, morality confuses me and I guess I've just kind of resigned myself to doing good when I can because why not, it's probably beneficial

Because there’s other people in the world who are just as miserable, or worse, as me, and I hope it lifts their spirits for at least a second. And even if I only help one person in my entire life, it will be worth it.

Happiness is such an amazing thing, it doesn't even matter if it's not mine.

It makes me feel good to make a small difference in somebody's life. I have had a lot of bad things done to me and every small gesture from a kind person gave me hope.

Maybe if I do enough good deeds I can even erase the bad I have put into the world and forgive my past mistakes.

I know the impact it can have on a persons life, a little more good in the world like donating blood, or giving to the homeless doesn't take a huge effort from me, but can really have a big impact in someone else's life.

Makes me feel good and useful. Makes the world feel like a little better of a place hoping that the person I helped will pass the bill into the next person.
