Altruism

Altruism is the concern for the well-being of others, independently of personal benefit or reciprocity. Altruism is an important moral value in many cultures and religions. It can expand beyond care for humans to include other sentient beings and future generations.[3] Altruism, as observed in populations of organisms, is when an individual performs an action at a cost to itself (in terms of e.g. pleasure and quality of life, time, probability of survival or reproduction) that benefits, directly or indirectly, another individual, without the expectation of reciprocity or compensation for that action.[4] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altruism
