Altruism does not and cannot exist. Period.

I disagree. It just cannot exist amongst everyone.

1. the principle or practice of unselfish concern for or devotion to the welfare of others.

Not possible. When you get down to the bare reasoning as to why you're practicing "unselfish concern", it's purely egotistical. Even if you're doing something you HATE for someone you HATE, you aren't showing "unselfish concern". You are doing it in hopes that the favor is returned, thus having a selfish motive.

Altruism does not and cannot exist.

whoa.
