Is there REALLY such a thing?
Some people use examples such as the firefighters in NYC helping victims of the 9/11 attacks as pure altruism. But, playing devil's advocate, can't it also be said that somwhere subconciously, they were seeking personal glory?
I, for one, am a pessimist. I don't really believe in altruism. I think that people only do "good" in hopes of reaping some reward, or attention.
GC could use a good debate!
