also, it's true we have animal instincts and we have a will to live

I doubt we have any of the overarching Wills that we are usually credited with. We have packets of more specific intensity that usually fulfill some long-term or larger goals but can screw them up also.

We don't have a "will to avoid starving" we do have an "urge to eat".
We don't have a "will to procreate" we do have a urge to have sex( actually that's a 2nd layer meta-urge, but close enough).

We do the bulk of what we do for reasons we poorly understand and do a lot of rationalizing along the way or after the fact.

'Unselfish act'? Pretty hard to judge since the reasons run deep and silent.
