ALL altruistic acts are ALWAYS motivated by self serving reasons. Such acts are done only to build up one’s ego by using the act as “proof” of one’s personal value. This does not mean that the act is done with a conscious deception in mind or that the act does not result in a genuine benefit for the recipient(s). Those who claim that they do things for purely altruistic reasons are really just saying that they are “better” than those people who did not act similarly in a given situation.
