on being truly Generous …<br />
(11/10/20<strong>17</strong>)<br />
“True generosity consists precisely in fighting to destroy the<br />
causes which nourish false charity. False charity constrains the<br />
fearful and the subdued – considered life’s “rejects” and “bums”<br />
and “failures” – to extending their hands in trembling need. As<br />
such, true generosity lies not in placing a pittance therein of<br />
finances or sustenance, but rather in striving to make it so that<br />
these hands – whether of individuals or entire peoples – need be<br />
extended less and less in supplication; that more and more they<br />
can become the hands which themselves give and work and serve,<br />
and thereby trans<strong>for</strong>m the world.” ~ via Paulo Freire<br />
