In this case something more important to you than your own pleasure, higher in that sense

Okay. I thought you were using it as euphemis for "nobler." However, I can't imagine anythng "higher" than what feels good and right that I, or any human bieng could possibly value.

Part of my problem is defining "feels good". I don't conflate it, automatically, with feels right.

I believe that doing what we believe is right can, sometimes, bring a world of hurt to us personally. It's then that we discover how much we really value a particular right. We can choose here something higher (of more value) than our personal pleasure.

I believe you would define this scenario this as choosing between two "feels goods". I don't define it that way. Pleasure and feels good are different than "right" although they can concur.
