The idea of been generous is something that have been part of me ever since when I was young. I could remember when I was still a little child, back then in kindergarten, there is this classmate of mine that don't usually bring food to school instead they give him biscuits to eat during breaktime. That biscuit doesn't satisfy him as he always feel hungry during class.
Sometimes he doesn't bring anything to school that I usually feel for him. So what I did was to share my food with him during breaktime which gives me joy when doing so. Since then i have develop the aim of been generous by helping people in my own little way.
While growing up, I found out that been too generous to people sometimes seems like a disadvantage for our well being and financial growth as people takes advantage of such opportunity. They see it as a common thing to do when they ask for something and get it without been turned down.
This is one reason why most people refuse to help their fellow humans as the people in need always feel entitled in doing so which is really not appropriate. However, in my own way of life, I still choose to be generous as my own aim of doing things is not for the present but for future purposes.
No one can't predict the future likewise can we predict our financial status but then being good to people is important as this can be an opportunity someday to change situations.
Being generous to people doesn't mean they owe you, it is just a kindness from your own path. It only have it positive side though, when people you help don't forget your good deeds and display the same as well.
