Might not one's pleasant feelings which arise from accomplishing certain tasks be better, not just as a matter of their own judgement, but in principle, in the case that their goal is a career as a doctor who cares for the ill, versus the parallel progress and pleasure another acquires in becoming the most decorated commander of Boko Haram, say? Might I be mistaken about what I think is the best self that I want to strive towards?
