One thing that helps ground me in this regard is to think about in terms of the individual lives saved. At the end of the day, if you only donate enough to save one life when there are those who donate enough to save so many more, what you did is save a life that nobody else would’ve saved, or else they would’ve donated more. It doesn’t matter how one relatively compares to others; compare how many lives you saved that you wouldn’t have saved had you made different choices. That’s what matters.
