> Is Doing Good really a selfish act?
I find the argument the doing good is selfish a circular one. If you are the kind of person who feels good when assisting others, as opposed to gaining satisfaction from hurting them
it simply means you have a kind heart to begin with. A person who is truly selfish wouldn't derive any pleasure from "selfless" act.
