Who said this?

Whatever you give is acceptable if you give it eagerly. And give according to what you have, not what you don’t have. Of course, I don’t mean your giving should make life easy for others and hard for yourselves. I only mean that there should be some equality. Right now you have plenty and can help those who are in need. Later, they will have plenty and can share with you when you need it. In this way, things will be equal.

That was an important precept of a growing group. They:

were united in heart and mind. And they felt that what they owned was not their own, so they shared everything they had.

Could we imitate such action today? Would it be a good thing or a bad thing?
