RE: Count thy Blessings.

I also try to give away a lot of money and gifts when I have an important stock market deal. But I also gave away my toys to kids in the yard when I was 5 or 6 years old and didn't have a stock market app on my computer yet :)

From this I conclude that altruism is an innate feeling or a development from past incarnations (for those who believe in the immortality of the soul).

Sort:  

I don't really measure it that much. It just happens. Helping those in need right when they are in need, if it's within my abilities and within my comfort zone. There are people that I don't like to help. And that's important, too, there's no obligation. It has to be genuine for me. I have to want to help and feel like it's a good thing to do.
