Is doing what's right always good?

A story that I recently heard from an acquaintance of mine, brought me to this question. He had a motorcycle accident where he was quite badly hurt. He was trying to avoid a teenager who is riding his motorcycle and crossing the street. This acquaintance ended up quite badly hurt and had to actually go to the hospital for treatment. He said the teenager helped him to get up after the incident and begged him not to report the incident to the police as this would risk having his motorcycle impounded and since he also do not have a driving license most likely end up in more serious legal problems. The teenager however offered to help him go to the hospital but my acquaintance just said that’s it OK and he will not be reporting him to the police. I teased my acquaintance that I didn’t know that he has goodness in his heart.
 
Technically, it’s not the right thing to do, the right thing is to report the accident to the police, so that the teenager would learn his lesson, pay for the victim’s medical bills and the victim might be able to get something out from his insurance company for the damages on his motorcycle. But was it the good thing to do?
 
This reminded me of the stories of two different typhoon victims of the Ondoy in 2009 in the Philippines. Both are my officemates and quite wealthy though I do not know personally who is wealthier.
 
First story was about a woman whose house was badly hit by the typhoon that in fact the adobe walls of her house broke down and one of her cars was submerged in floodwater. Her supervisor asked her if she would need monetary assistance as the team she is in is raising funds for the team members who has been affected by the typhoon. Her response was, “although we would need a lot of money to repair our properties, there are others who need the monetary help more than we do, you can exclude me from those you would give help to.”
 
Second story was about a man who was also hit by typhoon and although his house was submerged in waist deep water, they were able to save their valuables including their cars from being destroyed. When the company sent out an email that they will be offering monetary assistance to typhoon victims if they can provide proofs (photos, barangay reports etc.) that they have been affected by the typhoon, he immediately applied. Nothing wrong there, but knowing that there is no serious damage to his property and knowing that he is quite wealthy, it left a bad taste on me.
 
 
You already probably heard the “story” about a man who did nothing wrong during his lifetime and when he died and is trying to enter heaven, God (sometimes St. Peter, gatekeeper or angel in other versions of the story) asked him, ”I know that you did nothing bad during your life, but have you done anything good?”
