Sam Woodrum has proposed our topic for conversation this Tuesday at Life & Faith in Downtown Raleigh: selfishness vs. selflessness. He asked us to watch an Invisibilia video before we come. Watch the "mirror touch story" which starts at about 6:00 minutes.

If you don't have time to watch the story, come anyway!
Life & Faith in Downtown Raleigh – 2nd Tuesday of every Month Tuesday, 7:00pm, April 14, Tyler’s Tap Room. This is a Dutch treat discussion group. New people are welcomed enthusiastically - those who come set the topic for the night as we ponder how to connect what we believe to what we do. Look for our red comma.

I'd be interested to talk about selfishness vs. selflessness. In the past I've tended to think that the more selfless and empathetic you can be the better (the more Christ-like, so the speak) but this story seems to be an example of extreme empathy, to the point that it is crippling... seems to enforce the idea that a balance between the two is best rather than just always pushing towards on side of that spectrum.
