What's the difference between zeal, ardor and enthusiasm?
What's the difference between zeal, ardor and enthusiasm? How do I put it containing one of these words if I'd like to say a person offers help with passion (For example, 'People always zealously offered to help me get to where I was going when I found myself lost in [city]')? Are there better ways to express it?
Thank you for any help you can provide.

In [city], people enthusiastically offered to help me get me to where I was going when I was lost.

Zealous is more common, but tends to have a negative connotation. In your example, I wouldn't use it, because you are describing a positive attitude.
Enthusiastic is fine. People always enthusiastically...
