do you believe in a "helper's high?" This Howcast video says a way to get high naturally is to volunteer or do good deeds, in order to get a "helper's high."

Also, when a mother sees her baby smile, it activates a region in the brain that causes euphoric feelings, much like a drug.

I guess this means altruism isn't real.

I don't really believe in working yourself sick and expecting "thank you" as being a good enough of a reward.

If you can't help yourself, you can't help other people.

I think the "helper's high" is just an offshoot of feeling a sense of accomplishment of having done something, I'm not sure that something needs to be good deeds for others. For example, I build a shed, the shed benefits me and only me, I feel really good after all the work is done because I accomplished something, no helping others needed.


Those who do not learn from the mistakes of their past are doomed to repeat them.

A gram of heroin will provide a quicker and more intense euphoria than a year's worth of good deeds. Stop wasting time and start coppin'!
