If what you say is true, then why in the world would we do a self-less act? Acts of pure selflessness are when we put whats best for others ahead of ourselves, this will make us less happy than if we acted for our own ends. Example- If someone dies that would not "make them happy", but why do some give their lives up and accept death inorder to save others and ensure that they live?
