I believe that on the most simplistic level, the only real motivation there is behind any and all actions is personal gain. I think I have yet to find a situation where personal gain isn't justifiable.

I agree almost. I think there are decisions made with no expectation of any payoff, because we are reasoning conscious beings, and have the power to do whatever we want. If a person makes a decision based completely on reason then I don't think that person is definitely looking for any sort of emotional gain. I do think alot of people are "good" people because it makes them feel good. I mean I know what you're saying, and I think it's true alot of the time even when it seems like it isn't.
