I think you've missed the boat on this one.
You did something you wanted to do - e.g. a self-serving action that had the consequence of benefiting others (charity) but this is not selfless which is a misnomer. You seem to prove my point by finding some semblance of peace about it in order to "sleep well at night". Such an action brings you joy at helping your fellow man in need of assistance in life.
Now if you donated to charity despite not wanting to do so and not achieving any positive effect from it, then you might have a point but I do not find such a scenario plausible in any possible Universe. We act in accordance with our desires - whether such desires are benevolent or not is really not the purpose of our actions.
