I don't think it's a bad thing at all. Seems to me that it's a good thing to be putting positive energy into the world and helping someone out is definitely putting positive energy in the world. Plus it's synergistic. They're probably more likely to help someone out because someone helped them out. Now if you are constantly being burned by doing this - if you are making unreasonable sacrifices to help someone out, then you might want to think about your motivation. You might be setting yourself up to be used. But if it's something that you do, that doesn't interfere in your life in a negative way, keep doing it. It'll make the world a better place!

it's only a bad thing if you're looking for something in return, i.e., the favor being returned, monetary payments, accolades. it's a good thing because if you're doing it from the heart you will reap greatly. what a nice human being you are, if i needed help i would look to you!
