You will not find charity among Adler’s original Great Ideas. Rather, charity falls into the category of Love – a word of many meanings. Love applies to a wide variety of relationships such as Romeo and Juliet; Odysseus and Penelope; Hal and Falstaff; Don Quixote and Sancho Panza; Hamlet and his father; Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy in Little Women; Aeneas and Rome; or Achilles and Patroclus. Love may even be given to the self.
