Why not just view them as a challenge to be overcome?
Because I usually feel bad when I harm others, and I usually feel good when I help others. Altruism seems to be built into most human brains, and it would take a lot of conditioning to overcome. Most importantly, I think eliminating altruism would lead to a world where average quality of life was lower.
(Of course, these altruistic tendencies are what cause me to care about average quality of life.)
