If the work we do to earn a living doesn’t also build up Good Places at the same time, we can’t make up for it by our donations and our volunteer hours on evenings and over weekends and the occasional mission trip week. We spend so much more time at work than we do volunteering! If our work is at best neutral and at worst damaging, our few spare hours and dollars can’t make up the difference. That’s why all of the Non-Profit organizations who are working to make the world a better place are always short of resources. We cannot donate or volunteer our way into Good Places (as important as donations and volunteering are). If we spend the majority of our time at work serving the principle of achieving the highest efficiency possible, earning the most money we possibly can, as that causes damage or neglect to human relationships, damage or neglect to the community, the same to the physical world, we can’t make up for those effects in our spare time or with our spare change. The work we do to earn our livings can - and must - at the same time build up Good Places. If it doesn’t, we can’t make up the difference through our donations and spare time.
