Entry: Against Unselfishness Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/against_unselfishness#18316 Post contents: Great article, Mr. Zmirak. "Well, yes, but not YOU personally should be responsible for it: there are Religious men and women that do that kind of thing, and your almsgiving to those Orders help much more than a selfishly unselfish act of “doing it yourself”. Mr. Capp, where did you get this notion? Why is it necessarily better to delegate such works of charity to the Religious rather than doing it yourself? If you yourself can take in the poor family without undue risks to yourself or to others, by all means take them in. How is it "selfishly unselfish" to do the good you can? Sent at: 2008 09 06
