For the vast majority, I think everything is done out of, in part, selfish reasons. The actions done however vary widely in wholesomeness. To flourish in the act of giving one’s own life to serve other beings is, I think, of maximum wholesomeness.

It is also possible to have a sense of self but not be limited to it.

I guess it just depends on the intentions of the person. But I value people that help when a opportunity is presented to them instead of seeking it. For some reason people that seek to help others give me the ick lol like what are you trying to prove to others. Also people that go into “serving” for religious purposes tend to get an ego.

Agreed, intention is where it’s at. Anything can be corrupted.

Especially the people that “help” and post it all over the internet to showcase what a “good person” they are
