There is no such thing as humanity, that is a social construct so is supposed "good" and "evil".
Except when you have the ability to help or not screw over your fellow man, you do the right thing. When things go downhill quickly, all that separates us from animals is the ability to be empathetic and altruistic. You don't alienate others simply because they don't have the means to pay exorbitant prices in their time of need. It's the same reason you wouldn't leave a handicapped person behind.
Life is indeed short but what makes for the warmest and most fulfilling stories? People helping people (or animals).
