I've been reading a lot of moral philosophy lately, and I keep hitting a wall with utilitarianism. The idea that we should maximize overall happiness sounds great in theory, but when I apply it to real decisions, it feels like it demands too much. For instance, if I donate most of my income to effective charities, I could save lives, but I don't, and most people don't either. Does that make us morally bad? I wonder if the problem is with the framework itself, not just our weakness. Maybe we need a philosophy that acknowledges our limits and still calls us decent.
