Then you ARE getting paid. Just because payment is in a different coin doesn't mean you aren't getting paid. My payment for clearing the lady's grass was in the form of cookies and a boob view. Doesn't mean I am not getting paid. Just means I am getting paid differently.
Main Entry: alˇtruˇism
Pronunciation: 'al-trü-"i-z&m
Etymology: French altruisme, from autrui other people, from Old French, oblique case form of autre other, from Latin alter
1 : unselfish regard for or devotion to the welfare of others
2 : behavior by an animal that is not beneficial to or may be harmful to itself but that benefits others of its species
More clear is #2. In this case, your good feeling is that payment or benefit.
