"Doing good for your fellow man" is slavery if you're forced to do it by law or if you accept the unearned guilt delivered by a Sunday sermon.

It's not the same situation at all as when a person helps a friend or family member because that person is a value to them.

Sometimes I help people struggling to do something, not out of the kindness of my heart, but just because watching them struggle is painful to watch.
