If by helping everyone, you raise standards as a whole, then it will inevitably help the people in front of you.
By ending cancer, the people in front of you will never have to worry about dying from the countless different variants of cancer.
By improving the worlds economy, the people in front of you will be less likely to suffer poverty and will be able to attain things they might not have otherwise. Sure, those might be exclusively material desires, but they don’t have to be.
By improving technology, you can grant people and knowledge and freedom, that in turn allows them to help others.
This is the meaning of Good. By helping one, you help many, and in turn others follow. Good leads to more Good. Evil leads to more Evil.
