I have at my current age, pretty much have directed most of my time to helping others. And not necessarily for them. Alutrism has its own rewards - the ablitly to connect with others and symbolically become part of their growth.

@Soossie I think you are the same way, so you understand. Many people think happiness comes from what they do for themselves and indirectly money. But once you have food and shelter taken care of, the rest is just status symbols that are used to temporary prop yourself up...but it always fades (because it is just yourself). More happiness comes when you have your own happiness and then by giving, get to share in the happiness of another (increasing your own proportionally).

I am generous in my listening. Often. Not always.

I like to think I am generous, but we can always give more. No matter our station in life, there seems to always be someone in greater need.
So what am I generous in??
- TIME - I volunteer time every week that I'm home at two women's shelters near where I live in Maryland.
- STUFF - I live pretty lean so if I have something I don't need anymore I give it to a thrift store (typically with Saint Vincent de Paul Society). This includes a lot of clothes every year.
- MONEY - Here's where I think I could do more. I do have money deducted at work for two charities I like, but I could give more.
I generally don't talk about this stuff, but you asked. And even so I almost didn't answer. But idk, I think we could all give more and should. So here's my plea to the universe... Give to those less fortunate in whatever way you can. {hugs}

Such a beautiful soul.... Even giving a smile to children is considered generosity because it is spread freely and for a good cause....
We can do more than we imagine....
You are doing a great job and I did not expect any less from you... so proud of you... so proud of your kind heart... 💖💖🌹

@Soossie Thank you my friend.
And yes, I want to repeat what you said about a smile. We all have good days and bad... But the simplest thing we can do on any day to make this a better world is to share a smile.
This past Spring when things first flared up in Ukraine, I was temporarily in Romania for about a month. So many sad faces coming on foot from Ukraine. Young and old alike. After my duty shifts nearly everyday I went down to the refugee processing center to share smiles and candy bars and to help out anyway I could.
Generosity requires not one cent. If you have no money to give, then give of yourself. It will come back to you tenfold.

@Soossie But then who cares😒
In the end what matters is how much you have in the pocket.

I’m generous to my son and grandkids with money.
meggie · F
I more than pay my way in life and never freeload off anyone. I spend my spare time helping others quite often and never ask for anything or want it. One day it will be my turn for others generosity and I'm sure there will be a kind soul there.

I used to be super helpful and generous until it was used against me and affected my career. I no longer trust or help people. Truth is they aren't worth the trouble.

I feel like if I or someone were to brag about how generous they are, they really are not that generous
@JestAJester
I dont go out to brag about what I do to help others .... and I doubt if anyone in here does.... They are answering a question which asks them about it... :)

Hahaha! Love the meme. 🤣
I suppose I'm generous with close family members, helping them out in various ways when it's needed or wanted.

I am a good listener so I think I am generous with those who want to share, or just talk.
