Is it true that everything that people do has a selfish origin?

"Every response, whether it be an act directed towards the outside world or an act internalized as a thought take the form of adaptation or better off re-adaptation. the individual acts only if he experience a need" that's a quote from the book the psychology of intelligence by Jean Piaget.

the key word here really is "experience a need"what is that need and does it always has to be selfish?.

Richard Bandler would argue that every action has a positive intention and by using various techniques that is based on modeling human excellence we can change the external behavior based on that need mentioned earlier.

Yet I think the question has a very interesting example please check what i think you might be familiar with the maslow hierarchy of needs

Just to finish in a full circle here if what Jean Piaget suggest is true then yes there is that selfish need to feed the top of the pyramid.
