Yep. If you want to get truly technical and analytical about it, there is NO such thing as a TRULY selfless act. If you do something nice or helpful or charitable for someone, and you receive no financial reward, or service in return, or any other tangible compensation, yet you "feel good" about it, then there is still some small degree of self-serving motivation.
