Is it right to do the right thing, but for the wrong reason, knowing that it's for the right reason? That sentence is confusing, so i'll explain the concept a bit. Sometimes it's hard to do the right thing for the right reason. I don't normally steal things, and I don't find it hard to resist it, but not because I know that i'm really stealing from the shops owners, just because I don't want to get arrested. It's good that I don't steal, but it would be better if I did it for the right reasons. So coming back to my initial question, what if I chose to be scared of getting arrested because I knew it would stop me stealing because it would hurt the shop owners. So on the basis of one reason I decide not to do it for another...
hmm, I'm not sure if I was able to explain that, let alone justify whether it's right or wrong.
