What's the Difference Between Compassion and Altruism?

The Buddhist in some way are pointing out where they say, you know, like craving is desire. Yet a Buddhist monk gets up and walks. There must be some desire there or meditates. So what's the distinction that we're making? We want to be able to have some moralistic response to that - which is don't eat all the cookies. And so yeah, you're pointing out something really beautiful.
