It doesn't matter whether it is objectively 'right' or not. It's simply that if you do something which you think is right (or even just 'not wrong') then you (unless you're a psychopath, or whatever the correct psychological term is for someone with emotional dysyfunction) can't help but derive some degree of satisfaction from it. In which case it's not 100% altruistic since you've gotten something from it.
