So it seems that Thomas knew about "tough love" more than 500 years ago... He says that love (charity) sometimes acts, and sometimes it doesn't.
The key according to today's devotion is a person's intention. Also a few hundred years before modern psychology, Thomas is able to identify the troubling role of the ego ("...a persons own inclination...") in determining and shaping our attitides and actions.
I agree that loving is not only acting and giving all the time. Love demands that we want what is best for the other...
sometimes that isn't another helping!
