Is it worth being generous?

Some say that being generous means being a good and noble person. Others consider generosity a meaningless habit that leads to financial problems. But how is it better to be? Is it worth it to show your generosity or is it more a vice than a good trait?


Not all are generous. Some people literally count each penny, they will never forget to ask you for a debt of two rubles and fifty-six kopecks, and they will expect that you will give the exact amount. Others, on the contrary, give out everything to everyone. What can be said about this? First of all, it is probably the fact that no extremes are positive. If a person is ready to literally kill for a penny, this clearly does not show him on the good side. But in the case when someone gives everything, the apostle itself is starving, too little pleasant.

Generosity is the source of pleasure

And yet, most likely, generous to be better than stingy. Especially if you like it yourself. There is simply a category of people who really love to give more than to receive. Such a person can sit on bread and water to collect for a gift, which someone dreamed of. And he will be happy when he sees the joy in the eyes of his native man. If we talk about such generosity, then it is hardly possible to find a negative. After giving to someone, such people are literally charged with a positive energy that gives them the strength to work, create and simply live. In the case when they have to save, not on themselves, but on helping others and gifts, they begin to languish just before our eyes. Many people do not understand this, but in fact, such a person literally takes the source of pleasure. Even in cases when they realize that you do not need to throw away money or gifts to buy something for yourself, it still becomes uncomfortable on the soul. And buying a long-desired thing does not bring them joy, because they think that someone has not been helped, someone has not made happy, and so on. If a person's motivation for generosity is a desire to bring joy to other people and get pleasure from it, then generous be it is necessary and possible. Because without this feeling such individuals will simply fall into depression.

They will always come to the rescue

In human generosity, there are certainly many advantages. One of them is mutual assistance. The law of equilibrium works perfectly in the world. All that you give away, must come back. Not always from the same people, but nevertheless, every good deed is rewarded. Therefore, if a person is generous and never feels sorry for anything, there are many grateful people around him. Of course, if you choose to choose these people. Otherwise, you can just collect the crowd-lovers who will consider generosity to be stupid and cash in on it. But being in the company of good friends and acquaintances, a generous person always receives what he gives. Knowing about his good qualities, in difficult times many will also come to his aid and "give a hand". And, without demanding anything in return, because they know that this person has never acted like this and gave everything for nothing. That is why generous people almost never lose. It is only necessary to disburse with material means, as they again come from somewhere. Perhaps, some individuals help from such individuals, because even in the most desperate situations something unexpected happens, which becomes a real "wand-wand". And, the help comes completely unexpectedly: a long-forgotten client appears and offers a highly paid project, there are a few extra hundreds that she can happily give, someone suddenly remembers that she forgot to give the gift to the birthday and gives it in cash. In general, however, but generous people in their own way luck in life.

Do not have any money, but have a hundred friends

Generous people have many friends. Here, some skeptics can declare that in this way generous people simply buy friendships, and all of them lose money instantly. In fact, this is not true. If a generous person knows about others, he understands who is with him because of money, and who simply because he loves him. After all, one should not confuse bounty with near-mindedness. To be generous is not to distribute money to everyone indiscriminately. Being generous is helping those who need more than he himself. Therefore, the generous stretches of a lot of good people. After all, a good person appreciates the other in unselfishness and the ability to always come to the rescue. And when he sees that his new acquaintance does not shake every penny and can easily part with money for the benefit of others, he realizes that one can rely on such a person and very often becomes a good friend to him.

When you do not need to be generous

Of course, one can not say that generosity is always an exceptionally positive quality for a person. In some cases, it affects it negatively. But only when he ceases to adequately evaluate people and begins to allow himself to use. Especially often it happens in those cases when we love someone. This feeling makes you give everything and even a little more. And it's good when a loved one wants to do everything for you, too. But there are other cases. Unfortunately, the love of generous people can start to use. In this case, they literally extort money and gifts, and they, infringing themselves in everything, give and give, so that only the loved one was well. Here in such cases, it is not worthwhile to be generous. Of course, it is difficult to realize that a person dear to you simply enjoys kindness and does not care about feelings, if only there was money. But still you need to take yourself in hand and soberly assess the situation. Especially if you are hinted at, or even told by those who know you well and really love. If you understand that you help someone who does not just not appreciate it, and, under any pretext, literally knocking out help from you, then collect the omnipotents and stop. Such a sacrifice is not necessary for anyone. You are simply used. If you do this, you will soon see that this person did not need anything else. At first he will be angry and continue to extort, and when he realizes that nothing will be achieved from you, he will simply leave.

Finally I want to say that generous people do not need to pay attention to criticism of their actions and comments that they are scattered with money, do not know how to live properly and appreciate the earned. If you enjoy the pleasure of making someone happy, if you feel good, then skip over everything and act as your heart tells. And remember that every our good deed necessarily returns to us. So think of others, and they will necessarily think of you.
