A Spirit of Generosity – Now More Than Ever

| February 18, 2009

Now more than ever, we need a spirit of generosity in our society.

Now more than ever, we need a spirit of generosity in our society.  

Society, and its individuals, need to work on developing a spirit of generosity.  This generosity can appear in many forms:

  • is this action helpful to our environment?
  • is this purchase going to help some-one other than myself?
  • is it okay to let this car move into the traffic ahead of me?
  • is putting 10c in the donation tin going to add up to something bigger?
  • is a smile and thankyou going to cost me anything?

If we all work on being generous – with our time, our smiles, our words, our help and our wealth, the world would be a much better place – less poverty, less hardship, less stress and anxiety, less rage.

And we would also be much better people – calmer, happier and with greater self-esteem.

So why don't we do this?  The next time an opportunity presents itself to be generous, grab it with gusto and enjoy the feeling!

    Society

    Hey there,

    I’m doing Society & Culture this year and we’re required to undertake a Personal Interest Project. I have decided to do mine on current societal values, in particular consumerism and individualism.

    I would appreciate it so so much if you could take a few minutes to complete my questionnaire (it’s quick I promise!) and if you have any family members or friends who are interested, it would be of a great help to me! Just click the link below 🙂

    Thankyou again,
    Nicola
