Selfless?

Is an act of genuine heroism, during which one gives up ones life to save and protect strangers, loved one or one sisters and brothers in a time of war, an extreme act of selflessness or the most rare, refined form of enlightened self-interest, especially where others are invovled.

It is more the latter than the former, but the motive can be either. What is significant is the complete willingness to self-sacrifice the self for the good of others. This level of heroism can come from individualists like Christ, that martyr themselves for the sake of the whole, and their is nothing selfish about their individual contribution to the greater good.
