Nah dude. You have to think it's the right thing to do. If you think it's the right thing to do you that's because you have a moral system that indicates that it's the right thing to do. It's enlightened self interest as opposed to unenlightened self interest. We do things we don't enjoy all the time because we believe that the consequences will be positive overall.
