Generosity

Sometimes I am amazed at how much people give. At the same time I am appalled at how much people don't give. It does not matter whether it is money, food, knowledge or love - when you give more, you get more.

Having been brought up in a culture where a guest is supposed to be treated like god, it amazes me when people stand in line to get but don't like to return the favor and give.

Why is is so much easier to give to those who don't even ask? Look at the banks - if you have money, they will give you more, if you don't, they are not going to give you any to start with.

How do you define a generous person - someone who is willing to give even when they don't have anything.
