I think the main problem of the paradox is assuming the person was thinking
of whether or not the act was selfless at all. A truly selfless person does
actions they feel are the right things to do, without thought of reward or
whether the choice is selfless or not. They do it because they feel it is
the right thing to do, and others may judge the action selfless after the
fact.
In a real life context it is giving help to someone you didn't know (and
will probubly never meet again) because they needed it. Thats what I see
selflessness as; doing something or helping someone who needs the help
without regard to merit, reward, or anything else other then the fact that
it is the right thing to do.
