Each time the thought to give arises, act on it. Then notice what happens, in my experience, generosity never leads to remorse.*
Joseph Goldstein
Bad things happen when we employ rational thought, because rational thoughts come from the ego. Instead, we want to work from the Self, that is from instinct and intuition, from the unconscious.**
Steven Pressfield
We may never know
the full out-workings of our moments
of generosity.
Many of these impulses
come from our deeper,
Better selves.
This is the Self we are becoming–
Where our talents and values
and energies meet.
We’re not looking for meaning
and purpose – we’re living it,
Dealing a blow to boredom.
