^^yeah I've thought about that before as well. Who is truly good when even plain giving GIVES YOU a good feeling, so you are again, the beneficiary. BUT there are plain selfless acts. Think about this for example: you love someone but they love someone else. They want you to let them go. It'd hurt you a lot but you love them enough to do as they wish. That way you're not really gaining anything: a true selfless act. What I was saying is people who do things like that, do what's good for others even if it's bad for them, are truly good.
