Consequences of Good Will

As we discussed deontological duties this week, we recalled Glaucon's encounter with the gold ring in Republic: Book II. We determined that the actions of the just man must be good themselves and good without qualification, or regardless of consequences. The example of the invisibility ring pointed out that humans are naturally inclined to abuse power and that they do not for fear of another's abuse of power affecting them. But even if someone were to have invisibility and not abuse the power, wouldnt the reason still be for its consequences? If the person were to say that "I want to be the one that does not abuse power", aren't they doing it to be held in higher esteem than others that would not do the same? Even if the person explained that "it was just the right thing to do", doesn't it suggest that what they did should be common knowledge? It seems that even the most modest explanation would derive from some form of consequence, even if it was just done for pleasure.
