Generosity. Resume in their hands a book that, for the first time I read it, treat such an idea: "Capitalism generous." It happened about eight years ago when, for the first time you browse a book by Richard DeVos, who was familiar to me in other ways, as a co-founder of a giant company that bore his imprint principles. A book written copasiune with weight. I was impressed. Which is why I return to it as a place dear to me and that invigorates me. Although published in 1993 in California, the book seems to me a striking actuality ...
Returning to the idea of \u200b\u200bgenerosity. If we try to do "what is good" without this commitment to start from the inside, going to work. There will be generous. Will be consumed in less than a week, or we'll come to hate themselves. First start work from the inside. Take a day off from work. Walk the streets where you live. Look deep into the pain and suffering of your children and children of the world. Let the pain you grow in their passion until he starts to grow with it. You sad. Flared up. Run-up. Only when you get to love what you do. Your heart will be there and whether they succeed or not, your conscience will be clear.
emotions of melodrama is not generosity. Neil Kinnock, British Labour Party leader, once said: "Generosity is not sweet and syrupy sentiment towards the disadvantaged and sick ... but is an absolutely practical belief." Generous people are passionate, they have before eyes a living world, a world to which they are strong feelings.
They stem from a mature and informed conscience who knows that a lack of compassion lead to serious consequences in the real world. Generosity is smart. But however involve emotions. You can be generous if you do not feel anything in your soul.
