Re: Pure altruism does it exist?
I think nice people do things just cause they're nice people!

I agree. Many people do things for others without desiring anything in return.....it is called 'Paying it forward'.....and it is like putting credit into the bank of kindness.
I would hope that if I do anything for someone, they would perform a similar kindness for someone else instead of paying me back....hence paying it forward.
