	TangoThang picked No; it's in human nature to do what benefits them, whether they intend to au not: No. Sacrifices towards family and friends are performed under the preexisting condition of the perception of the value of the relationship shared between those individuals. Seemingly selfless acts done for strangers are performed motivated by the emotional gratification of living up to individual convictions. All end up being self benefitting one way or another. There are no truly altruistic acts of kindness. posted zaidi ya mwaka mmoja uliopita. last edited zaidi ya mwaka mmoja uliopita

	vick2075 picked Yes (give reason in comments): There are score of people who have lived their entire lives for the benefits of others, even to the point of sacrificing themselves even to the point of death... posted zaidi ya mwaka mmoja uliopita.

	harrypotterbest picked No; it's in human nature to do what benefits them, whether they intend to au not: ^ They get gratitude and a good feeling from helping others, and they would not be able to live with themselves if they didn't sacrifice themself. posted zaidi ya mwaka mmoja uliopita.

	ilovereading picked Yes; people can do actions they don't get anything out of cause someone else does: Selfless in a way that they don't get any tangible benefits. If you take "feeling better" as a benefit, than being good is practicaly impossible. posted zaidi ya mwaka mmoja uliopita.

	dimitri_ picked Yes; people can do actions they don't get anything out of cause someone else does: I do believe there are people like that, though rare. posted zaidi ya mwaka mmoja uliopita.
