Incessant Sports Fan Bitching Drives Me To Ponder Philosophical Questions

I had this whole thing about the Cardinals season being over, and my general irritation with the fans that won't quit bitching about the absence of moves made at the deadline, but it kept spinning into another rant against the Mark Mulder trade, so forget it. I've held on to this one for awhile, trying to decide whether to post it or not, but I might as well. It won't stop eating at me, so here goes.

Someone (a friend or loved one most likely, but possibly a stranger on the street) asks you for a favor. You can decide for yourself what the favor is, whether it involves money or a helping hand, or whatever. The favor they're asking for is not illegal, in case you're worried about that. In fact, helping them would generally be considered the "right thing to do", or a "good deed", however you care to define those. However, you don't want to do it. You have other things you'd rather be doing, or that need doing, or you just don't want the hassle this favor will entail. Ultimately though, you do help, because you know if you don't, you'll feel guilty about not helping later.

Are you still doing the right thing if you're primarily doing it to keep your conscience from nagging you?
