Self-interest is the motivation for human actions {psychological egoism}. Desire wills voluntary actions, which are for self even if they are altruistic, emotional, or rational. However, self-interest is too general, and interest is actually about direct interests. Many motives are not about self, such as reasons and emotions for donating money. Self-interest is about present and future interests, so people must know both.
