Samaritanism

Samaritanism describes good actions that are often done by people who believe they are genuinely good themselves.
While such behavior is appreciable, due to the way the world works presently, it has become more of an annoyance than a virtue.
People who fall under this description should be called samaritans.
Bob: "John really likes to help out everyone he sees huh..."

Mark: "He's just competing for the nicest person award. Fucking samaritans."

Helpline that you can phone when you are at risk of ending it all. An ear to talk to when you have things bothering you that you couldnt tell another living soul.
Person answers phone "hello this is the Samaritans how can we help?"
Desperate person answers "Hello, my world is falling apart"
Then proceeds to spill their "guts" to a complete stranger about how fucked up their life is....
Feels a bit better afterwards and can see things in a different light.
