It's certainly more practical, but we do hold a great multitude of oughts simultaneously and work towards their fulfillment the same. There are a good number of us doing this, not at all about the same set of things, either. There's nothing preventing me or you from getting the sunday shopping done and, at least attempting, to do what would be wonderful if it could be done, but may not ultimately be possible.
Consider the limitations we're placing (and the short shrift human experience is recieving) whenever we contend that we "ought not" whatever we presently can't, or any other such rejection of the possibility that obligation can exceed a persons abilities.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
