Do acts of kindness have a motive?

Yes. Can be the good feeling you get from performing it, or the fact that you feel bad seeing another person (or animal) suffering and the kind act removes that feeling from you. Could also be a way to assuage guilt if you have been lucky in life or to somehow make up for past bad actions. I don't think there's anything wrong with that, the result is still the same - someone who needs help gets help.
