justice
We can never go too far in our self-giving: ours is poor coin to pay God back what we owe him in justice. This consideration will lead us to get rid of any false compassion for ourselves when the fulfilment of our duties requires sacrifice.
involvement
In our relationships with others, we cannot just be present. We need to be involved. Being present is like being a Scarecrow in the field, useless in preventing the birds from gnawing at the fruits. We need to be involved, actively, protecting and assuring those around us that we are not only just present, but active to help, to walk, to give.
