In social psychology, the everyday concept of helpfulness is technically defined as (1) the property of providing useful assistance, and (2) friendliness evidenced by a kindly and helpful disposition. Several theories of helping agree that, in the long run, helping behavior benefits the giver as well as the receiver. more at Wikipedia

I really belive volunteering ang giving of your time to others definetly helps, I had never done volunteer work until after our children passed away, and then I got involved with organizations that helped us during our sons life and even afterwards that helped in different ways, giving back of my time is one of the things that has helped alot, along with donating toys and other items in their memory for their Birthdays and Christmas etc.. That's the best.
