Mine's pretty much the not going to prison thing too. But it does benefit those around me. Thus making it nice!
I can't think of anything I have ever done for someone that was truley genuine. The only thing I can think of that is close would be when I took my dog to the vet to find out why his skin was breaking out. I didn't have anything to gain by doing so. I did it more for me than to help him tho. I was curious and couldn't find the answer online.

I think the other party would have to know of this as well for it to be considered doing it only for the purpose of benifting yourself. From there standpoint you helped them out of kindness.
It doesn't change the fact that I've primarily done every nice act for myself and that what someone else gets out of that is just a side-product. The point I was getting at was that kindness is relative.
