on generosity, altruism and ability to donate
be mistaken to think that donating is easy. Diamonds, jewelry and clothing brand, are not gifts but apologies for gifts. We must be equally good at receiving as in giving, because we become good donors, only after we have learned to receive.
I am disappointed when I receive a gift from someone who does not know my spirit, or what I think of this or that. I could receive the gift of a huge villa or a luxurious car, but would remain in me a sense of bewilderment and bitterness, so that the act is based on nothing. The real gifts can be recognized because it accompanied by a part of ourselves. When I offer fashionable clothing or precious objects that show the talent of some designer or designers, I feel offended and attacked from behind in debt. Receive these gifts is a promissory note, it seems that I must repay a kindness as soon as possible, but I do not want to receive cold formality, these courtesies are owned by men with fake and false moral bourgeois. I want to receive the gift of a part of my donor, and I want that there is a channel of union between him and the gift I am going to take, just so I would feel really satisfied and happy to receive something as a gift.
If my farmer friend, gave me vegetables cultivated by him and me to take them in a basket filled accurately, I found myself the happiest person in the world, because in addition to the gift itself, marking all his hard work and generosity. If my friend, the painter, he painted for me even a rose petal that falls in its simplicity, I would feel over the moon to see the expression of his art to me. The gifts are the most authentic natural, in which the recipient is discovered to rejoice, for the gift by the donor.
When I'm on the other side of the boat and I identify donor and bearer of generosity, I find myself too careful. I am a guy who makes a few gifts that can not remember the dates or occasions applicants, but I consider myself quite generous in the proceeding days. I like to watch and find people to whom my generosity, though expressed in a simple and small things, will have no limits. I like to help and give to those who deserve it, and I like that this person enjoys my help. I find myself carefully in the sense that at the time of the gift I clearly present the value that I believe a person has, therefore, with some limit myself to offer, with others insist accept my gift, I will credit with others, with other I still sdebiterò in a few days. Those who have an affinity with my spirit will certainly be at the forefront receive my generosity. Those who feel far away from me, although there is nothing for a thousand times more needy. I'd rather donate a book of poems to a young boy who can grasp the meaning of my gift, rather than donate money to a homeless person who does not combine any good although it has filled the stomach.
hardly be hasty and careful men waste their gifts and their generosity, even waste their wealth, but not the energy to those who do not deserve. Do not deny anyone, as is in their power to live in dignity, but with the knowledge that there is much else in life, a plate of pasta and charity. The generosity fulfills the need, but the gift always goes on the state of the similarities, so the need to meet basic needs and the high affinity and esalatano spirit. The gifts are never appropriate, because it is the case that gives them to us.
