How generous you are ?

@JudyEv - Yes, you could interpolate the word humility, nothing wrong in it.

Thanks @HAPPSINGH

@shaynas - It depends upon you how generous you want to be. The limit of generosity is to be decided by yourself so that you are not taken for ride. It will differ from person to person. What about you? Are you generous or do you think twice before showing your generosity?

@dpk262006 I think i am a generous one, and that's why i feel cheated and used at times. Like many times, i give money to beggars only to find out that they were acting to be so much in pain. i am learning to be cautious now.

It depends upon a person, how generous he wants to be. Too much of everything is bad.

@celticeagle - Yes, you are right that it depends upon once's experience and outlook.

@dpk262006 .....I think it depends on a persons background and how he looks at the world.

In your view, sometimes you turned out to be more generous to others, then you would have liked to. Which means that you get carried away sometimes. Is not it? Yes, I agree with you that if others cannot reciprocate at the same level, they could at least acknowledge your generosity through their gestures and sweet words. Happy New Year to you and your family :) Have a nice day! :)

@much2say It is heartening to hear that you are very considerate and you don't mind helping others and you help those who don't expect it from you. It is your magnanimity and I think helping others gives you a kind of inner happiness and satisfaction. Yes, if others cannot reciprocate, they should at least acknowledge your gestures towards them. But unfortunately some souls are thankless and they don't realize how someone helped them in their hour of need. Have a nice day.

@dpk262006 Well, I try to do more than what may be expected, depending on the situation of course. I don't think I go overboard, but I like to think I am thoughtful and will be thoughtful when people least expect it. But then I may regret it afterwards as not everyone will show appreciation for the thoughtful act. I don't expect a person to reciprocate in the same way - but at least to show a bit of appreciation - even a few short words would do. Hoping all is well with you and your family in this New Year!!!!

@SIMPLYD - Yes, ideally it should be the case, however, most of us still expect, what could be the reasons in your view?

Yes, one should not go beyond one's budget. We should donate or help others within out limits. Actually, the hidden meaning of quote is - when we help others or give something to others, we should not expect that others will do exactly the same, we should be ready to accept less.

@dpk262006 Correct ! That's the essence of giving - never expect a return .

@Ayuriny - Your positive thought is praiseworthy. I think you are generous and you are a positive person who believes that more we give, more we are going to get.

@HAPPSINGH Yup.

@HAPPSINGH You seem to be very happy right now. Enjoy your time!

It is good to hear that you are generous and you do not mind helping others. Yes, if you help someone, the same person or someone else may come forward for your help in hour of your need. Keep it up.

Very well said. Whenever possible we should be generous. How about you?

Glad to hear that you are generous enough. Do you expect something in return when you show generousity?

It is great to hear that you like to be kind to others and you even distribute gifts to them on the occasion of Jewish New Year. Keep it up.

Of course, the level of generosity you want to show entirely depend upon you, one should not normally go beyond his/her limits. What about you?

Are you generous? Do you follow this quote in your life ?

It is really nice to hear that you had some positive experiences regarding generosity and more you give, the more you receive. Keep it up.
