I don't recall him mentioning that his act was purely altruistic.
We all gain some amount of personal satisfaction from helping others. This doesn't diminish the actual act. Bravo Zulu, SR!
P. S. I occasionally have similar ideas, but I just buy the man a meal so I have peace of mind that those dollars aren't directly being smoked, toked, intravenously injected, or converted to a cardboard box of Napa's finest. Yes, I do it to make myself feel better but the recipient of the meal doesn't seem to care.
