[MF1]Philanthropy illustrates the complex feelings that can arise around a single term, with borders both porous and less so. Philanthropic works can be seen with Ambivalence, particularly if it seems that altruism is not the only motivation for philanthropy, or that the recipients are not those most deserving. Philanthropy can build Connections between social groups, but what is the nature of such bonds, and what is their strength? Philanthropy can emanate from Guilt regarding past actions or the actions of others, or one might feel Guilt in accepting aid, and yet even from such roots it can still engender Hope. Other choices might have placed philanthropy with other feelings in this set, and yet it’s difficult to imagine how philanthropy would work with Hate or Fear, for example.
