This would make for a rather inefficient lightworker.... someone I'd describe as having lightworker syndrome. It seems like such a person would care more about looking like s/he's doing good in the eyes of others rather than being committed to doing what's best.
Think about it. If you had an extra million dollars as a lightworker, what would be the best use of it? Give it away to charity? That is indeed a good usage for many people. But what if you can use that money more efficiently than the charity? What if you already have an outlet for service that could be greatly expanded with that money, putting it to better use than a charity would? Then I'd say you should use the money to expand your own service, such as by building a staff of people to help you.
Being a lightworker doesn't mean being lazy and inefficient. It's reasonable to put some serious effort into optimizing and increasing your capacity to contribute. If I didn't believe that, I'd still be working in the gaming industry.
Triage is often necessary. If you genuinely care about helping people, you must learn to say no to the smaller good, so you can say yes to the greater good.
