“Human nature is selfish, even its philanthropy is guided by an egocentric desire to feel good about themselves.”
“La naturaleza humana es egoísta, incluso su filantropía está guiada por un deseo egocéntrico de sentirse bien consigo mismo.”
Easy. Healthy. Real.

Definitely, we can indeed feel good about ourselves without involving other people, and we should! I just always felt like even if we don’t have an agenda when helping others, we make it about ourselves by thinking (if not saying) stuff like: “I helped that person and I’m so awesome and such a good person because of it”, or something like that.
