By donating to charity, Joe sacrifices more of his own narrow happiness for the sake of lesser happiness to another. Jill both sacrifices less and produces more good. Clearly, in terms of the happiness generated by each person's action, Jill wins heads down. Insofar as there is a distinct virtue of magnificence, Jill has it, and Joe does not.

Therefore, Joe's love for himself and his neighbor are relatively close, but absolutely weak; on the other hand, Jill seems not to love her neighbor as much as herself relatively, but her love is greater absolutely, due to the superior effect on others' welfare from the Jill's $60,000 as opposed to the Joe's $3,000.

You couldn't have missed the point worse if I had deliberately hidden it...

I was about to say the same thing ROFLOL
