Helping others is so hard wired into our way of thinking that we are not considered "people" if we don't exhibit the trait. It has helped us survive as a species for millions of years.

Altruistic (putting the good of others ahead of the good for oneself) behavior is a basic human trait. It is shared by many other animals that live in groups. Basically you need to help other people because it is hard wired in your make-up. Without this behavior mothers would walk away from their children, their would be no doctors, firemen, police, charity work, paying civic taxes, people paying wages, concept of personal property - any of the things that make a society possible. Each of these activities requires the cooperation of knowing that if we all cede a bit of our "us first" attitudes to become "it's better for us all"

Why helping people in need is important?

It's important to help people in need because it is the right thing to do. People sometimes make decisions which causes them to need help to get out of a poor situation, and sometimes things beyond someone's control, like the loss of a job, puts them in need. Without help, these people may not be able to get out of their situation, so if someone can help them, it is important that they do.
