You say "that we think entirely too much," josef. And yet you posted what I consider a useful unpacking of the issue. Imo, you thought it over well.
The point is, as you said,
" but do so without any thought or intention of "doing good"."
This is exactly what Zhuangzi and Laozi spilled so much ink on. I think that all that their thinking was useful.
To be free of thinking that I do, at times, absolute good, is a wonderful thing, even if others think that I am doing good. This amorality is the basis of Zhuangzi's mysticism.
I think that it was what Jo of the North Sea was thinking about when he said there was no way to do net good: "Who shall I help" he rhetorically asked.
