mk, just fyi, you & Hubski have had a specific positive effect on my life, details another time. Re, is it good to be wondering about the effect we have on others: I hope all who are working in a position where they are supposed to have a positive effect on others (teaching, health care, politics, social work), evaluate often whether they are making a positive difference. You're right -- making a difference in people's lives or in society at large is not easily measured. We never know whether the little positive changes we make could be like the flap of a butterfly's wings in Brazil setting off a tornado in Texas.
