The "Messiah Complex"

I've been told that I have an interested trait, one that could be the death of me or make me a saint. it's come up on a more than a few occasions, as of late, it's been named something that, as sacrilegious as it may be, fits.

One of my dad's co-workers called it the "Messiah Complex," namely stating in name that my actions and wants center around other people in such a way that I feel I need to and can help and save everyone, of course taking its base from that of Jesus Christ, who did save everyone, yadda yadda yadda.

I guess it fits. I dive into things to help people headfirst, not caring about the emotional or physical affects they have upon myself. There are matters and problems, however, which can't be ignored. I don't understand how other people, even if they're not familiar with the situation, can sit on the sidelines and watch. I guess I relate it to people who have CPR certification - if they stand by and watch someone suffer or die and not perform the procedure, they can be charged with a felony or neglect because they had the ability and knowledge to help, but didn't. In the instances of which I'm talking, we don't always have the knowledge to help, but more often than not, we have the ability.

I just find that I have the ability to help anyone who asks or if an event presents itself.
