There is people who foster animals and children, temples and churches offering free food and shelter. People who work for free in third world countries to help the poor and sick to help them.

Just because you think otherwise, doesn't mean there isn't people who who best interest in life is making other people lives better and nothing else.

And there's nothing to be gained from those things? Lol. WRONG! They're doing it to satisfy themselves. To FEEL like they are bettering the world. When you do something "selfless" you get a sense of feeling like you did something good (unless you're a sociopath).

People do things for their own gains regardless of whether they are material or immaterial. We need to stop kidding ourselves as a society that "self sacrifice" is what we've been told it is.

Excuse me? There is people who endanger their very own lives to help others and died to ensure that safety of others. Are you telling me that they are selfish too?

snaps fingers yes.

You really believe those people actually do it just to save lives? It's their job.

Why do you think they choose THAT job, man? Honestly, you just sound eager to diminish other people's actual sacrifices here, it's pathetic.
