    That's entirely possible, I don't know the first thing about her history.

    And I'm not leading you in circles, I do not believe for one second that Mother Teresa was altruistic. I think what ever she did must have made her feel good. That was her gain.

    Like I said, it's impossible not to gain in some way. The respect many still have for her, is something else she gained, for example.
