People doing something SHOULD feel good, because they are trying, even if it fails, if that's a 'cope' than whatever. Would you rather the world burn and everyone still be a dick?

I didn't say they should do things because they feel good, but it's natural to feel good if you've done something that helps others. My mom drilled it in my head well, that we do what's right because it's the right thing to do, not for any reward even praise or celebrity or whatever.
