I believe the greater good is doing something for yourself but for your community or country

Deontological ethics or deontology: (from Greek δέον, deon, "obligation, duty"[1]) is the normative ethical position that judges the morality of an action based on the action's adherence to a rule or rules.

Clearly, we must all have a sense of the greater good in one aspect or another? Our thoughts are directly connected in what you feel and do.
