you must do what makes you happy and if doing "good" does that for you then it is it's own reward. I don't think you can seperate an action from its cosequence( makes you feel better about yourself or others feel better about you), if you didn't want to get anything out of a good deed then you couldn't do good at all.
you also have to live your life within the constructs of the society in which you reside. Your surroundings will almost always dictate what good is based on the accepted norms. Like it or not.
