I disagree, and in my experience realizing what is the "right" thing to do is sometimes most definitely not a good feeling - and does not "feel good

It is not the means by which we achieve the result but the results that motivate us. The means may be quite unpleasant, but unless there is a shiny beacon of "feels good" as a reward, the "light at the end of the the tunnel" for our suffering and pain, there would be no point in going though suffering and pain.

I know what you mean, and the most of the time you describe or choices and actions. But there are, the really hard choices, and there is no feel good at all, not in the doing, not in the result, nothing feel good about it.

unless there is a shiny beacon of "feels good" as a reward … there would be no point in going though suffering and pain.

Sometimes the only point is it's the right thing. The only point. Maybe we're different, but we're both old enough… I remember past and recent, thankfully only a very few, nothing felt or feels good about it.

Hate to switch points here, but logically even if there is a feel good for doing what's "right," whether we choose what's right because it feels good or whether it feels good because it's right solely depends on how you look at it, whatever prejudice (in the larger sense) or worldview you have.
