Altruism focuses on selflessly helping others without expecting anything in return, motivated by empathy and compassion. Seeking self-aggrandizement, on the other hand, involves actions driven by a desire for personal recognition, praise, or enhancement of one's own status or image. Essentially, altruism involves acting for the benefit of others, while seeking self-aggrandizement involves acting for one's own benefit.
