well putting food in a food hamper just so you can feel good is selfish. hence not a good deed. because selfishness is bad. right?
would you still put food in the hamper if you knew only 1\3 of it was going to the needy and the rest is going to someones pocket?

Also is selfishness inherently bad, so much so that thinking of yourself as well as others when doing a deed means that its not a good deed but a bad one?
bit tired at the moment but i think you get the gist.

why are you running out into traffic? adreline junky? no? death wish ( i'll show her/him how much i love them by doing this [lovers and parent/child])? selfish? wanting to be a hero and be reveared by the culture. a selfish thing. we can go on. all the acts of good deed are selfish in nature.
