It's because I'm fucking awesome, and my hatred, etc paints me as nowt but a younger version of you!

Alt Q: We can't really have altruism, as while many acts are viewed as selfless, they still give us pride to do, etc. Dying for someone is obviously different, but that could be argued that you want them to live, also selfish.

I don't agree
I think it's still altruism. Ok, they give you something good, but not something better than if you didn't do it, therefore, knowingly, you're sacrificing something just to make someone happier; you're worst off on certain aspects, but you still do it because someone needs your help.

I'm in general agreement with AA here. about the Alt Q, anyway.
We always take something from any act of kindness that we perform. As it makes us feel better about ourselves.
