I believe there is a reward or some sort of self benefit with every action. But I don't think it necessarily means we're entirely selfish and inconsiderate. What about charities? Wouldn't you consider them altruistic? If we perform actions that benefit or have a positive impact on other individuals whether they fulfil your own, I'd consider it altruistic. We have to support each other to make society work, and that involves altruism.
