Feedback score: 0
I was under the impression that there was not a 'case' for charity, especially economic. Charity, from the Latin Caritat, which made its way into the church as one of its primary aims in the world. In its original use it was seen as a self-less activity.
I suspect our post-modern and skeptical ways would have us believe that there is no such thing as a self-less activity. I mourn that loss and what it implies for our future.
On the other hand, I do think it is wise to question the ways charity might produce negative outcomes.
Its funny (not really) how far the institutions we've built and the mental gymnastics the knowledge and logic we live by have removed us from each other.
it is nice nora to feel the earth move.
