hello firozahmed! it is also because of the smiles from them, and the happy expression with a positive look! it's a contagious feeling. Of course, if you feel or see like they are okay, you seemed to be okay too for yourself. meeting new people each day is like viewing ourselves in the mirror, for each expression we make to them, they react and give response! good day :)

it is simply because you are a compassionate person and giving is the best thing a person can do. It always makes a person happy if done willingly and from the heart. So carry on friend you are on to a good thing and keep going in the right direction.

Because other people's happiness is a concrete proof of your deeds are useless. Do something useful, is one way to get happiness.

It's natural ! Good people always get happiness in helping others. This happiness cannot be compared to any other happiness as it gives us a peace of mind that we have done at least one fruitful task that mad other comfortable, if not happy. At last, I would like to tell you personally, that you are a nice, kind-hearted person, May god shower blessings on you.
