altruism is going out and helping others just to avoid having negative feelings about one's self. it is like your self esteem is not verygood and and you go out and help someone with his household work on a sunday. Undoing is what exactly it means, UN-doing, you have done a crime and and you want to UN-do THAT!. To quote a famous(?)/notorious example MUMBAI(INDIA) blasts were masterminded by Dubai-based David Abraham and a couple of months later he has actually conducted a free lucnch to the poor of whole MUMBAI!
(actual names changed to avoid legal trouble)
