"The pluralistic form takes for me a stronger hold on reality than any other philosophy I know of, being essentially a social philosophy, a philosophy of 'co'"-William James
We discussed helping people in need. Some in our group said that they aren't comfortable helping strangers while others explained how they do help others. Either the pleasure or some kind of personal inclination seems to drive it. One member explained how if no one had helped before him, who would help if he didn't?
We discussed the reasoning behind going out of your way to help others. Most of the discussion leaned toward the idea that we would want the help from others, therefore we are inclined to help individuals in need.
