Giving Without Regret
Buddhism
praises the value of generosity but warns that you shouldn’t give
something away if you’re likely to be upset later and regret giving it
away. Similarly, although it’s good to help others, we shouldn’t agree
to do something for another person if it will likely lead us to feel
exhausted, resentful, and angry at the other person. Each of us has to
judge our own capacities and set our boundaries accordingly.
