Poll: Why do YOU do what is right?

Because I was raised that way. And it feels good, ultimately proving that everything is self-centered.
I do my best to be nice to others, until they're not nice to me, and I usually do what I believe is right.
Because if I don't, it'll come back to bite me in the ass in ten years.

I feel guilty if I do the wrong thing. If I did something bad when I was four, I wouldn't live it down untill I was 84.
I've never felt the need to have to justify doing what's right. I still don't feel the need to justify it.
Id like to not be known as a douche, and it just feels natural, see guy in need, ask whats up, if I can help, I will, if I cant, I cant
i don't tend to do 'good' for my own personal gain. If i see a situation where someone needs a bit of help, ill help them out to make them feel better, i don't really care how greatful they are, but if they don't even say thanks that's a bit rude. If someone asks me a favour and it's not too much of a burden to me then ill help them out and not expect any favours in return.
Dunno what that makes me tbh =P
Ps: i would like to mention that your part on the poll about impressing the ladies/gents, it's only really true for us gents, and not even 100% for us.
I'm not trying to dig your poll, but i thought i'd mention that being really "nice" like bying gifts and giving compliments doesn't really do you any favours with women, despite how much sense that would make.
Women sure be crazy!

Real world rewards. If it makes my life easier by doing good things then I will. If there's no perceivable reward for it, then I honestly will just mind my own business. I'm an ethical egoist, so I do everything out of my own self interest. Does that make me selfish? Yeah, but I don't see how looking out for one's self is morally wrong. Why should I aspire to give cake to others, but consider myself greedy if I pursue cake for myself?
I still aspire to be polite, though. I get nothing from being rude.

Because I can symphatise with the others, so I don't want them to suffer. When other people are happy, my conscience is silent.
Also profiting myself is a part of it. If I'm part of building a society where people aren't jerks who try to hurt each other, I'm going to be more safe.

It's a tie between making myself feel better and treating others may end up giving me a good reputation, which might give me some reward in one way or the other.
Being kind toward others also keeps the social part of my life somewhat stable. Now if more people around my age would treat eachother better, we could actually create a better future.
