As far as generosity in kind is concerned, it has many aspects.
Foremost is generosity in acknowledging the countless favours of God. The best way to do this is to show obedience to His directives. Next come our parents. Looking after them in a magnanimous way and being gentle and kind to them is in line with this generosity. In particular, their emotional needs must be taken care of. Continuing with this sequence, our children, siblings and extended members of the family must be treated in a bounteous way. We have to be generous in showering praise on others too by appreciating their qualities whole-heartedly and expressing them in words. This gives a tremendous boost to their self-confidence and also makes them feel acknowledged by those around them. Generosity must also be shown in forgiving others. All of us make mistakes. We inflict all sorts of wrongs on others and at times they are irreparable. However, considering that if others have been bad to us, we too may have a share in doing wrong to others. Let us think of our own faults before we think of the faults of others and be magnanimous in forgiving others if we are to expect others to be magnanimous in forgiving us. We must also be generous in giving small gifts, presents and tokens of appreciation to our family members, friends and neighbours. Sharing food on special occasions to people around us is also a mark of generosity.___________
