People who feel sorry for certain people, and find pleasure and a sense of significance in taking care of them.  Some humanitarians use private, voluntary means to help [others] while other humanitarians prefer to use the State to force the general public to fund their efforts.

Humanitarians tend to view humans as innately good and kind.  They want to facilitate whatever each person wants to do, no matter what it may be. They enjoy a sense of paternalism as they provide for and protect their wards.  This tendency might be appropriate at times but can easily drift into a subtle form of control and dominance.

Humanitarians cannot believe that people are naturally selfish and sadistic.  They tend to hold a pollyannish view of criminals and attempt to mitigate their punishment.  They hate to see anyone suffer pain under any [circumstances].

Humanitarians have a hard time concentrating their affection on a limited set of people, such as their family or their community.  They seem emotionally restless and transient.  They continually seek out new people to befriend and help without ever settling into a committed, intimate [relationship] with any one person or group in particular.

Utilitarians, followers of the Social Gospel, collectivists, and [the political left] each find their roots in humanitarianism.  The origin of humanitarianism is likely to be found in a certain reading of the Bible and [understanding] of Christianity that emphasizes unilateral forgiveness, charity, and the brotherhood of all humans.  Such a view tends not to be balanced by a clear [understanding] of human depravity, and the fact that Eden will not be restored on the Earth until Jesus returns and creates a new Earth with spiritually regenerated people.
