Altruism is the belief in or practice of selfless concern for the well-being of others.

Altruism or selflessness is the principle or practice of concern for the welfare of others. It is a traditional social virtue in many who are active in the culture of a society which binds itself together with love rather than force. It is a core aspect of many religions and even some secular states, although the use of force by the states that become collectives has become a worldview of the socialist state. Though the concept of "others" toward whom concern should be directed can vary among cultures and religions, alturism remains a position of personal sacrifice.

Altruism is the opposite of selfishness, and it is the antithesis of coveting. The word was coined by the French philosopher Auguste Comte in French, as altruisme, for an antonym of egoism. He derived it from the Italian altrui, which in turn was derived from Latin alteri, meaning "other people" or "somebody else".
