And the title doesn't do justice to your full exposition. It turns readers away.

That might do fine as an answer to the questions, "What does a vocation really come down to? What does it mean to follow one's vocation?" It wouldn't, however, answer the quite different question that this post is about, namely "Why do some persons think that remaining single necessarily means being selfish, and to what extent are they right?" The point of this post was not to give a general account of vocation, but to see what justification there might be for a very particular few regarding vocation. The post is titled the way it is because that is what the post is about; it is not really about my own explanation of vocation.

In general, it is very important to be able to consider in what way persons with whom one disagrees are right, and this post is intended as an illustration of how one might do that in regard to the question of the single vocation.

One might be better saying, of all of this: "love is the answer to vocation, whether it is in marriage, single life, or priestly/religious life."

Thank you for posting this wonderful blog.

Nowhere in the post do I say that "being single is selfish"; I say, in effect, that (1) being single because one is looking out only for oneself and not desiring a life that fundamentally involves self-giving to others, is selfish, and that (2) some persons have for this reason judged that deliberately being single is selfish.
