I sorta' understand what you are saying Keetah, like I said the satisfaction I get from giving (apart from natural instincts to family) is the reward to my own self-esteem.

Suppose I would have to stand in front of complete strangers to take a load of machine gun fire to be a pure altruist (if any such word). Or donate any monies anonymously. Is this what you mean ?
