"Now, I am not quite sure from your account how you mean to use self- evidence in relation to charity, and therefore I am not ratifying your account. "

knowing that I am at risk of being hit with X's dictionary of undiscussable terminology, I will bravely offer an explanation.

I understand that there is such a thing as giving for no other motivation that for the benefit of some other being. That to me constitutes a charitable act. I believe that idea is valid and I know what it represents. It is likely that I could not prove for others that there are actual charitable actions or events, since it would involve proving the motive of the giver.

I conclude that the existence of charity as an absolute is true, but as I said I can not offer proof using scientific method alone.
