Conscience vs Ego

To some people - doing what they want, purely for self-interest or gratification - is the right thing.

Some people have problems differentiating doing what is right as opposed to what they want. Some people might not even see the difference. They go by day by day indulging in what they want. Lazy people, proud/arrogant people, people who refuse to admit they are wrong, etc..

Perhaps they suffer from a lack of self-awareness. Self-awareness being conscious of what it is that you are doing or reacting to. In other words, the ability to stand back - take a good hard and cold look, unclouded with emotion, and try and analyze and understand what is going on - in you - and around you.
