In most cases the difference between is so clear. However, there are always situations you know it would be right to do one thing, while it would be far better neglect that intuition in order to save the people involved. I'm not sure if that really came out right; but there are always exceptions to every norm.
By definition it is, or it wouldn't be the "right" thing.
If you're choosing something other than the "right thing," you're probably applying a less traditional code of ethic that probably includes consideration for one's own needs, because often being comepletely selfless is very often held up as the ideal. There are other ways of gauging "rightness," too; but usually it's somewhere between selflessness and selfishness (and I don't think selfishness is necessarily bad).
I think a degree of it is, in the cases of people not being able to help themselves, but I can see more where you're coming from in the sense of personal empowerment and independence.
