Generosity
It is easy to become cynical in our world, especially when we secretly admit our own complicity in perpetuating the myth of self-centred fulfilment. But then a disaster happens, a catastrophe strikes, and the outpouring of public generosity revives our faith in humanity again. Why does it so often take a crisis to bring out the best in us? People pull together to fight a common cause. There is a sense of camaraderie that is infectious. Suddenly, we find ourselves tapping into one of the most powerful human drives – the desire to make a positive difference. Dramatic events manage to penetrate our psychological armour of indifference.
