Virtues are qualities of the soul. Here's how the book works. First, there is a quote drawn from one of the world's many religions, such as the next quote from a sacred Hindu text. Generosity is giving and sharing. It is giving freely because you want to, not with the idea of receiving attention, a reward, or a gift in return. . . .
Generosity is a quality of the spirit.
It is an awareness that there is plenty for everyone. But, you'll know better. Next, the book goes on to argue why it's important to practice generosity. In a world without generosity, every gift would have a string attached. Every gift would come with conditions that would enable the giver to gain something and manipulate for his own advantage. . .
