Being a good person implies many things. On the one side, you are free to choose what is it you want from your life and how to get to it. You are aware of the fact that sometimes your will crashes with someone else's, and so you'll try to adjust to the situation. On the other hand, we may be selfish and do what we want the way we want it without caring the effect this may have in others.
If you are morally good and respect yourself and those who surround you, you will care about the consequences of your acts. If you do something you KNOW is wrong, you'll feel remorse; and you may even want to make things right.
Being a good person you are responsible for your acts, good or bad. If they are bad, they may harm you and others, or even prevent you from having a good life.
Be aware of your acts and prepare to be responsible for their consequences... It is not a bad thing to be selfish sometimes. To want something just for you is not always wrong, as long as it allows you to continue on the right path...

Your conclusion is totally right Lau I do believe we should be aware of our acts and be ready to respond to them, assuming responsibility for them.

I definitely agree with Savater when he says an intelligent egotist will realise it's in their own convenience to care about those around them... don't you, Lau?
You write: "If you do something you KNOW is wrong, you'll feel remorse; and you may even want to make things right." I ask: "Is there any point in feeling remorse without feeling prompted to set things right?"

Some people may not care if they feel remorse... Though they aren't the best models of human beings in society...
My dictionary defines "remorse" as "A feeling of deep regret"... That's why I can't imagine somebody not caring and regretting at the same time...
So, if you're not going to DO something about it... what's the point of feelingn bad about it???
See my point?
LOL,
Gladys
