Generosity
Generosity is sharing that which you can least afford to give. Who do you know that is particularly generous? How would you describe them? Do they give without expecting anything in return? We all know people like that (perhaps you are even one of them) – people who are always there to help, who share what they have, no matter how little or much that may be. They rightly deserve our admiration, for we live in selfish times, all caught up in the age of the individual – my needs, my rights, my wants, my desires – it’s all about “me”. It is no longer fashionable for individual aspirations to play second fiddle to community responsibilities.
— Wayne Visser
