I helped someone

I just said goodbye now that my work with them is finished, and I nearly cried seeing where they are compared to where they were when we first met.

Now I'll spend the rest of the day wondering if I only help because it makes me feel good, and whether that matters because he still got helped.
I never understood the idea that helping others is somehow wrong because the helper feels good about it.

Nature employs the symbiotic relationship where the organisms involved BOTH benefit.

Helping is a good thing and I'm proud of you.
Helping is a GOOD thing. All the religions preach it. All the ethical philosophies say it. Just stop feeling guilty for a moment and pat yourself on the back!!
