| | To be a good charitable being is to from a kind of openness to the mankind, an skill to trust unsure things beyond your own pilot, that can lead you to be shattered in hugely exceptional circumstances for which you were not to blame. That says something remarkably important relating to the condition of the honest life: that it is based on a corporation in the up in the air and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a plant than like a sparkler, something somewhat dainty, but whose acutely particular beauty is inseparable from that fragility.
