 Topic - Does it matter what you think if your actions are right?

So this question came up in school philosophy club today and I thought I'd throw it out for further discussion.
The scenario is that 2 people go through their lives making identical 'good' moral choices (we'll keep it simple: not to steal, not to murder, to remain faithful to a partner).
Person A is beset by temptation to act the other way each time such a choice comes up but masters their baser instincts to make the 'right' decision.
Person B makes the same 'right' choice but without being even remotely tempted to act the other way.
Is there difference in the value of their acts? |
