Not necessarily THAT harm. But my mother does go out of her way to alleviate harm happening to others.
Obviously, no one person can even identify, much less actively work on alleviating all harm that is occuring on this planet.
I'm not doing anything for the starving kids in Africa. That doesn't mean I'm not good. It just means I'm not all powerful. Donating food to a food bank, or donating blood in a blood drive makes you good.
Not giving Tumbooku in Nigeria a helping hand in learning how to read and write doesn't mean I'm not good. I'm depending on there being more than just me to help those they can.
Giving the bum on the side of the road a buck. That's good. Volunteering at your local hospice to visit with terminally ill patients is good. Not helping stop the sex trafficking occuring in Nepal is just something I'm not willing to throw everything in my life I have here in America away to assist those already working on that issue over there.
