someone who helps strangers survive, then goes home to argue about the paperwork.
means a person or effort devoted to relieving human suffering, especially through aid rather than politics or profit.
from from latin humanitas, meaning human nature or kindness; the word gained its modern edge in the 1800s alongside movements against slavery and war atrocities, when helping strangers became an organized profession instead of just a virtue.
