For example. One of my neighbours regularly visits an old widow in our street. He sits and has coffee with her, mows her lawn, washes her car etc. Which is all well and good, except he has made it known to others in the neighbourhood that he is only doing it to get in the widows will! He is hoping to inherit her house and land (she has no living relatives). So by spending time with the lonely widow and helping her, he is doing "the right thing", but he is doing it for a dispicable reason!
Please don't comment just on this neighbour, but reply to the question in general:
"If you do the right thing, but for the wrong reason, are you still doing the right thing"?
