you mention creating, but nowhere do you mention who one should create for. the ethical reason for creating a product is to better others lives, not your own.
you also suggest that bettering others' lives does not better your own:
>i.e., because you know that the specific cause you're supporting will make your own life better
this ignores the joy that most people experience when they genuinely help others, the sense of community people feel when they come together as a group for a cause, and the feeling of hope that your community service or charity may impart on those who are less fortunate than you can likely imagine.
assisting a charity is not 'giving up' your life for most. It's enriching it.
As an aside, your comment detracts from the value of charity to begin with, when the article is about whether or not a specific _form_ of charity is more beneficial than others. I think your comment adds little to the discussion and ignores the content of the article entirely.
