Every year, almost every season, in fact at this very moment, I am in the process of going through my wardrobe and weeding out the garments that no longer fit me. These clothes will be donated to an organization along with clothes that my parents are giving away. It didn't occur to me, until I was reading day 5, that this is an act of generosity. To me, it's decency, the right thing to do: if someone else doesn't have, you should help them to have.
Day 5 is all about reminding yourself that easy and right are not synonymous. Therefore, the easy thing to do is not necessarily the right thing to do.
"Doing good for others can sometimes require special thought and effort" (10).
