When is enough, enough?

Sometimes it gets hard to live inside my head, because my brain goes places and thinks thoughts that make me struggle for answers to questions like, "Am I doing enough to help alleviate hunger, pain and suffering in this world? What else should I be doing? Am I doing enough to cry out for those who are oppressed or facing huge injustices? When is enough, enough?"

Some days, like one day this week I had a sense I was doing enough, because we took food boxes to families in need. Made me have a sense of accomplishing something significant. We fed kids and families.

Then some days I see a website, read a news article, watch a video of suffering children in Africa and I wonder, "Am I doing enough?" On those days I say, "no", there's so much more I could be doing. But what, where, how, and with whom? Like I said it's hard to live inside my head some days.
