This kind of philosophy always pisses me off. It's okay to feel good for being kind to others. That good feeling that you chide, that's EMPATHY and without it we'd all be sociopaths. He's not "bragging." He's just feeling good about doing something that really helped somebody out, and he's proud of it. And he should be. And we'd all be better off if we had this kind of attitude, and less of yours. (read also: smarmy, fake, intellectualism)
