  It's usually a rather fruitless activity, but necessary none-the-less,
one does not fix ones behaviour if one is unaware that it is wrong, and
had it pointed out in a due manner.

  I tend to disagree, having moral principles can very well mean that
one has also developed a sense that others may or may not share said
principles, which means you do not have to withdraw into seclusion, but
you do have to live with those who do not share your views, preferably
in an amicable way.
