I think being a good person is about doing something for others even if it's just meant to make us feel good about ourselves. The vain feeling afterwards doesn't matter as long as people can benefit from our good deeds. We define ourselves through our actions rather than what we feel about ourselves because that's the closest way we can get to the reality of who we are.
