For the most part, Susan Wolf's paper consists of much negativity towards this theory of "moral saints. " She has formulated this set prejudice against anyone who strives to be a moral saint. This seems to be due to the fact that she has developed an unrealistic set of characteristics or qualifications for what moral sainthood is. Because of this, Susan Wolf harshly judges certain people who have a reputation of embodying the form of a moral saint and fail to meet her standards. What Susan Wolf fails to see is that utilizing morality in the way one thinks or acts does not act as a detriment to one's personality or personhood. For example, Wolf states that the characteristics of what a human should strive to be include someone who is well rounded and implements desirable things in their lives, such as reading literature, playing instruments, or being involved in sports. Furthermore, she believes that we also look to non-moral virtues such as grace, perceptiveness, and passionate nature and that we are in pursuit of these qualities over morality. This would be referred to, as a pursuit of "non-moral excellence, " meaning the mission of trying to be the best one can be to be a well-rounded person. Although these are all traits that seem appealing to a person, there is certainly room for morality in the non-moral portion of our lives. Using an example of someone like Mother Teresa or Gandhi best describes this situation. In the instance of Mother Teresa, we see a woman who accomplished many great, charitable things. It is obvious that much of her work was done out of moral goodness, and it would be safe to say that she embraced the theory of being a moral saint. Wolf would argue against this and say that someone like Mother Teresa cannot devote herself to various hobbies, such as sports or music, because she is so consumed by this "moral mission.
