Is Desire to Be Charitable Just Another Power Grab?

Odd things seem correct when one spends time mostly alone.

It hit me a while back that my desire to help others is a desire for power. I want the power in order to help others, but does that matter? It's still a power grab.

It's probably also a desire to be strong; to be so strong that there is extra to give to others.

There is, too, an element of pride, of not wanting to be the weak or needy one.

Seems like charity would always be a virtue, but it seems even that can be corrupted by intent.

Although, the recipients probably don't care.
