Current Virtue: Generosity

Generosity is giving and sharing. Generosity is being aware that there is plenty for everyone. It is seeing a chance to give what you have and then giving just for the joy of giving. It is one of the best ways to show love and friendship.

Without Generosity, people act uncaring, refusing to share their belongings, their time and their friendship. When we give freely, especially if a sacrifice is involved, our spirit grows strong. When one person is generous, other people want to be generous too.

When you are generous, you think of ways to share what you have. You think about what people need and do things to give them happiness. You share your time, your ideas, your things or your money. When you give away something that is really special to you, that is a generous way to show love. It feels good to give freely, just for the sake of giving.
