You like to help people and when these kammas' result, you will receive a lot of help when you want to do something.
Inside feel emo is natural wan because we are still puthujjana (凡夫 normal world-lings) and thus troubled by our mental defilement. We are like a dog leash to a pole; the leash is craving/clinging. the post is the five clinging aggregates(our body & mind). We are tied strongly by our craving to this post and always running around it in circles. We are reborn again and again every life experiencing our kamma. There is no end to it if we don't remove this leash.

SN 22:100 The Leash (2)
Translated from the Pali by John D. Ireland
“Unimaginable, Bhikkhus, is a beginning to the round of births [and deaths]. For beings obstructed by ignorance and fettered by craving, migrating and going the round of births, a starting point is not evident.
“Just as a dog, Bhikkhus, tied with a leash to a strong stake or post; if he moves, he moves towards that stake or post; if he stands still, he stands close to that stake or post; if he sits down, he sits close to that stake or post; if he lies down, he lies close to that stake or post.
“Similarly, Bhikkhus, the uninstructed ordinary person looks upon the body as, ’This is mine,’ ’I am this,’ ’This is myself,’ … He looks upon feeling … perception … mental activities … consciousness as, ’This is mine,’ ’I am this,’ ’This is myself.’ If he moves, he moves towards these five aggregates of grasping; if he stands still, he stands close to these five aggregates of grasping; if he sits down, he sits close to these five aggregates of grasping; if he lies down, he lies close to these five aggregates of grasping.
“Hence, Bhikkhus, I say one should constantly reflect upon one’s own mind thus: ’For a long time this mind has been corrupted by greed, aversion and delusion.’ Through a corrupt mind, Bhikkhus, beings are corrupted; from purity of mind beings become pure. Have you seen, Bhikkhus, an elaborate painting?”
“Yes, Sir.”
“Now that elaborate painting, Bhikkhus, was devised by mind. Therefore mind is even more intricate than that elaborate painting. Hence, Bhikkhus, I say one should constantly reflect upon one’s own mind thus: ’For a long time this mind has been corrupted by greed, aversion and delusion.’ Through a corrupt mind, Bhikkhus, beings are corrupted; from purity of mind beings become pure...
