as I fear and expect unavoidable bias from my own opinion even though I do try to work diligently at thinking and acting unbiasedly
Bias based on ones own experiences, observations and instincts are important in creating our own reality. It is the only way since we cannot start conducting experiments to learn the truth every day for everything. As long as we are acutely aware that our assumptions might be wrong, and willing to change our mind based on actual evidence - we are still on the slope. We just have to be mindful of our biases and why we believe in a certain thing.
"is there such thing as a 100% selfless act?"
Its perfectly fine to do good things even if it partly for self-gratification, as long as we are mindful about these and question ourselves why we needed to feel that, and strive to get better next time. When we finally learn to love ourselves for exactly who we are, we wont need any kind of external validation
