Altruism or selflessness is the principle or practice of concern for the welfare of others. It is a traditional virtue in many cultures and a core aspect of various religious traditions and secular worldviews, though the concept of "others" toward whom concern should be directed can vary among cultures and religions. Altruism or selflessness is the opposite of selfishness. The word was coined by the French philosopher Auguste Comte in French, as altruisme, for an antonym of egoism. He derived it from the Italian altrui, which in turn was derived from Latin alteri, meaning "other people" or "somebody else".
Altruism in biological organisms can be defined as an individual performing an action which is at a cost to themselves (e.g., pleasure and quality of life, time, probability of survival or reproduction), but benefits, either directly or indirectly, another third-party individual, without the expectation of reciprocity or compensation for that action. Steinberg suggests a definition for altruism in the clinical setting, that is "intentional and voluntary actions that aim to enhance the welfare of another person in the absence of any quid pro quo external rewards".

If you're lucky enough to live without want, it's a natural impulse to help others in need. But, asks philosopher Peter Singer, what's the most effective way to give charitably? He talks through some surprising thought experiments to help you balance emotion and practicality -- and make the biggest impact with whatever you can share.

What is altruism? Put simply, it's the wish that other people may be happy. And, says Matthieu Ricard, a happiness researcher and a Buddhist monk, altruism is also a great lens for making decisions, both for the short and long term, in work and in life.

"Reasons, Persons, and Effective Altruism" April 21, 2015
What have we done, where do we want to go?
The city sleeps forever
It slithers away as we speak
And we tell ourselves to deny it
Their lies dominate our inner eyes
While the sounds of laughter shake our dying earth
We can't count on our old brothers
We know tomorrow brings consequence
But didn't we tell ourselves
To deny it?
Their lies dominate our inner eyes
While the sounds of laughter shake our dying earth
We meander ourselves through our daily lives
Why do we have to be tortured for all the lies
Humility it's creation
Altruism and freedom
Rethink traditions at last
Let this be our manifest
Their lies dominate our inner eyes
