Inspired by the movement called "Effective Altruism", I asked myself the question as I have seen it posed: "How can I do the most good, given my limited resources?"
As I asked it, I wondered if the second part of the question, "...given my limited resources", was not tripping me up in finding the most natural answer.
To show how the second part is problematic I start out by one of the suggestions from the Effective Altruism community members, which proposes that we end greed.
Thus we explore the subject of greed, desire, power, time itself, instant gratification, addiction, sacrifice, and end up focusing on identity.
If we were to act from our infinite essence, as our essence, within the finite world, would the natural consequence not be that of automatically doing "the most good"?
