I believe that absolute unselfishness doesn't exist. Mature adults are aware of their selfish or unselfish actions. And they're aware of what they gain or loose by those actions. Again, I'm talking about mature adults here; people who are able to step back and see the effects of their actions. When we see the effects of our unselfish behaviors, we take satisfaction and happiness from it. Therefore, we still gain (happiness) and are aware of our gains. Subsequently, taking a positive action for others and receiving no compensation in any manner is impossible. That happiness is the compensation. Absolute unselfishness doesn't exist.
