The Freedom of Generosity
To
act generously is to awaken a certain kind of freedom: freedom from the
stranglehold of self-concern, and, consequently, freedom to choose a
level of responsibility beyond the minimal charge most of us have for
ourselves. To give unselfishly is at least momentarily to be free of
ourselves, free of greed and attachments, resentments and hatreds,
habitual and isolating acts of self-protection.
