Huh? So giving food to the needy would be good, but only if it's something you hate to do?!
You're freakin' nuts.
I do nice things for people who are close to me all the time. Why? Because it makes me feel good to help them and make them happy. What's wrong with that? Not a damn thing. Are the things I do not good *because I like doing them*?? Fuck no!!
A better question would be: is it possible to be an altruist?
Altriusm, by definition, is doing or giving something selflessly. But do people really do that, or do they do these things because it makes them feel good? Which is a selfish act--and there's nothing wrong with that WHATSOEVER.
