Generosity, what does it mean? One thing to some and another thing to others. Wikipedia's definition of generosity "the habit of giving freely without expecting anything in return". Webster's II New Riverside version defines generous as "having or showing willingness to give or share freely".
Today's quote is "To give away money is an easy matter and in any man's power. But to decide whom to give it, and how large, and when, and for what purpose and how, is neither in any man's power, nor an easy matter". Author Aristotle.
Wise words indeed. So now my famous question, is this quote true? Yes, I believe it is! Right now I am struggling to decided how much of a charitable contribution I should make this year and to whom should get the money. As a volunteer of many organizations that all need money, this is definitely not an easy task!
And now my Greek proverb - "When the fox cannot reach the grapes he says they are not ripe".
