@DeathpooltheT1000: It has absolutely no effect on you or anyone else so really you have no reason to care about the motivation. Ultimately ever action any human takes has a selfish motivation at its root, either its to make them feel good, or they think it will improve their reputation or its a tax exemption for charity or if they're religious they think it might get them in to Heaven point is even if its just a feeling everything is rooted in some form of selfish desire which means no it doesn't matter why they did this, its still a nice thing to do.
Gandhi was a hero to India for Non violent protest but his goal was simply to make sure his own people were free, he didn't give a s**t about the Muslim Indians, He was outright racist toward black people and even praised Hitler, does that make what he did any less important? No, it just means that like every other human on the planet his desire was rooted in selfishness.
This is what people say to justify their actions in everything, if everybody is the same there is nothing morally wrong, if everybody is selfish, then think only about myself and being a prick is like being a doctor, since everybody is selfish.
Then people ask themselves why the world suck and is getting worst.
Gandhi was a horrible example of a "hero", there has been people on history that had made things and for no reasons and got nothing from their actions, history call heroes to people that won, Wiston Churchill was worst that Hitler, but he is called a hero, heroes are the guys that won a write the history, not people that did the right thing, for the right reason and in the right way.
