Altruism

I am inside of a very intresting discussion with Mark Twain. Twain asks in his book What is Man if there is a possibility of altruism. Book contains a dialogue of an old man and a young man. It is scuritiny of the causes that effect to mens decisions. Through the dialogue Twain comes to conclusion that always the the first mover behind every action is humans necessity to fulfill (or gratify) its conscience and secure the wellbeing of oneself. So every good deed towards our fellow-men also includes necessarily partly selfish action. Twain points out (or the old man of the dialogue) that the whole crux is to find a way to develop ourselves in a way that our actions taken are not in the juxtaposition with our fellow-mens needs or with our own will.
