Arata probably evolved his Kakuja the same way Yoshimura did he had to kill in self defense and consumed other ghouls to become more powerful to survive but he chose to live in peace with humans. Maintaining that thought probably allowed him to retain his own consciousness as a Kakuja. What exactly did Kaneki have by being good? I think he desired to find his own way into the world because trying to help people only lead to suffering and pain. Being selfless and kind got him turned into a ghoul and the deaths of two innocent people he thinks is his fault because he tried to resuce both of them,  If he had not accpeted his ghoul side he would have died at Yamori's hands
