Anna, I do NOT agree with defining the loving act of charity as an obligation!
A person can do something out of agreed upon DUTY (obligation) OR out of LOVE. For example, a woman can sexually satisfy her man as a 'duty' OR as a an act of 'love' What would you think of the man who didn't know, or even care to know, the difference. The children (develping humans) I have helped to raise (stewardship), and the many more I've been around, DO naturally share; though not always when some adult wants. *IF* a child is given sufficient 'domain' AND are secure in their 'domain' (their body and justly held possessions) FEAR is reduced and is NATUALLY replaced by love. ALSO, children who ARE 'secure' in their just 'property rights' WANT to share playthings with their playmates (win/win) Negating the security of a developing person's domain (body and justly held possessions) will NATURALLY induce more FEAR and insecurity. SOME adults do this by coercing 'sharing' Are we surprised that this ESCALATES to MORE authoritarianism? If you want a more loving society, stop redefining that which persons do out of 'love' into 'duty' (obligation) -Terry Liberty Parker Please see what I wrote in What's at the Heart of What Libertarians are Selling? at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Libertarian/message/30419 --- In [email protected], "Anna" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello Terry, Charity has to be taught, a person is not born with it. > It is taught by making it a moral obligation.
