I don't know if she is crazy, but if she really wanted to become "pure" why doesn't she just take a real job - a job in a store or something, then she would be really grateful for the postition she is in. I think its quite insulting too her giving her possessions away. It is only middle class people from wealthy backgrounds who make grand gestures like that. What about people who lose their homes and possessions through no fault of their own? Why doesn't she just help out those people?
