I think perhaps, a definitional problem is rearing it's quirky little head.

You and I are thinking of the person- of the qualities of the humane person. The Dali Lama- to take an extreme example- is a man of such gentleness, and yet firmness in the face of inhumanity, a man of "goodness" (although I do NOT like that word, but I can't think of a better one right now.) I think we are thinking not of the civil society, and of people making their contributions to it, but of the really outstanding humane individuals that go beyond the normal daily societal conventions of civility and charity. Neo is stuck on the practical aspects of the civil society- and so we are talking at cross purposes- I think. You are talking about something completely different from what Neo is talking about- or at least that is my perception.
