yeah this is my biggest issue with it it'd be nice to not feel like crap anymore, but I'd rather bring about a world that makes fewer people feel like crap

Any kind of existential relief you find based on relieving the suffering of others (as opposed to your own) is existential buck passing.

It seems like there is a false altruism, where people are trying to build a self image based on helping others (and often end up doing it badly).

Whereas I think people who focused on becoming their best selves and engaging in creative projects for the love of it would end up helping others more, almost by accident.
