    True, but you are always there to notice your own actions. The satisfaction of doing something good and/or keeping up with your own self-image may be the real motivators.

      fair enough. I would argue that without your own self-image you would not be able to decipher what a “good” act is. our sense of self is definitely entangled with our moral compass. but now we’re really getting into it haha.
