Is altruism a tangible manifestation, or is it merely an illusion masking man's innate selfishness?
What?

Selfishness is the illusion, not altruism.

Any action that an individual takes to help himself is really, when all is said and done, only taken because of some altruistic intent.

Selfishness is an illusion masking man's innate altruism.
