This is about more than money. Generosity means letting others get the credit or praise. It is giving without having expectations of the other person. Greed wants to get its "fair share" or a bit more.
let me tell you a story. sit and listen. a teaching from me is no more correct or no more wrong from what you have done. i am just here to give you my word... a star blown from the sky tells you that your life is yours, no one can tell you that you mean nothing, the world is in your hands. well, the travler came to the second country of his long trek and stood still, in the moddle of the path. noticing the torn down buildings and the disease infested lives. the traveler came to the first house and gave him his hands. aiding in reconstuction and health, he made his life theirs. moving onto the second house and so on and so forth. his life became theirs. he was told from his star he will not greed his life, but rather generously give it to the ones who need it. he has defeated avarice and greed. now this village has a new star born, a star with hope.
