The Inner Voice

Realized the importance of inner voice:
There is this inner voice within us that keeps telling us what is right.
A couple of instances where the inner voice has helped me do the right thing:

1) I saw a visually impaired person standing right in front of me not able to cross the road. I desperately wanted to help him but by my instincts I was not very convinced. It is like when my instinct questions me 'Should I help him?' (I do not know why it didn't come instantaneously) the inner voice tells me 'The right thing to do is to help him'. And I went by my voice.
2) I was sleeping when I was disturbed by someone opening the door. I could hear my friend talking to someone over phone. It was unusual for him to be at home at that time. I could hear him talking about an accident that happened to him. I wanted to continue rolling in my bed (Seems selfish and stupid eh?!). But the inner voice again forced me to get up and ask him if he was alright.

It is like the auto correct feature in MS word. It is always there unless you force yourself not to listen to it.
What would have happened if there was no such inner voice? We all would have been nothing more than living examples of selfishness.
