<p>What about the soldier who jumps on a grenade to save his squad members? What is that.</p>
<p>^ Ooh. I think you’ve got the answer.</p>
<p>personally i don’t believe true altruism exists. ^ a soldier jumping on a grenade to save his quad members could do that if he realized that he was going to die anyways so why not die in a way to be remembered? lol. i’m not being pessimistic or trying to disprove you…but what if. think about it. imagine if he killed a human being before, and to repent, he decided to sacrifice himself. would you consider that pure altruism?</p>
