The two are intertwined, principles and gut feeling. If you stick with your principles your gut will most likely be there to back you up. Now I am never one to suggest that we don't need to question our principles and see if they true to our understanding of fairness, equality and justice but if we have formed our principles correctly, we will most always align with what is correct and good for all of us and not just for some of us. The idea of us competing against each other is not applicable to our natural or human rights we all share equally. Those are indemnified by our existence not by some arbitrary test. All else should follow the lead of our inalienable rights but our society has not been gifted with that beginning. Instead we have allowed for greed and selfishness to be part of how we operate our society and it is now coming back full circle to crush our better instincts for living. Those that defend the ways of the past, that has it's genesis in unlimited wealth accumulation, over duty to our fellow citizens are usually the ones who are benefited by it's privilege. Yet the result of such defense is to continue a system that has unfairness, inequality and injustice at it's core. Our species is an enlightened one and over the centuries we have come to see the dire effects that an unsuitable system for living can promulgate. Yet as we see and know some still try to abrogate the sense of change needed to rectify our plight. This is where we need to live on our principles and our gut feelings so that we can rebuild our society into something worthy of our true best character.
