Edit: I don't know which house you associate with but I think these two options define the differences between a Slytherin and a Gryffindor. A Slytherin would only help for the benefit of themselves or someone they care for, whereas a Gryffindor likes to put an honorable (*eyeroll*) front and try to kiss everyone's asses. But that's exhausting. There are just different types of people hence different opinions and approaches to this. It's not necessarily a bad choice or an immoral one, it just doesn't correspond to the type of person you may be. So IMHO, ditch the Hufflepuff.
... But now that I think about it, the calculated way you approached this dilemma may indicate you're a Ravenclaw.
