The only thing that logically makes sense is to refer to whether we are acting on our own behalf, or that of others, regardless of whether both can produce satisfaction. Secondly, we must distinguish between that which is matter of generosity or heroism, and that which is a matter of duty. We should not be aiming at what happens to please us, or cause us to avoid pain, but at what is right. If it were all a matter of "pleasure centers", we might as well hook ourselves up to a self- pleasuring machine and forget about the rest.
