I had far to much to say on the subject of generosity and came close to being sent to bed without any supper.

A recurring question that evening, and subsequently, has been: “Does it matter what the individual or organisation’s motive is for being generous?” Or is it more simple than that: if you’re being generous, for whatever reason, then that’s “good” (whatever “good” means – but therein lies the rub).

I’m quite a reflective person but much of the time I have no idea why I’m doing something. Is this comment a generous act? Am I trying to get benefit from it? If so, is that a good thing or a bad thing? Says who? And so what?

I propose that question for a future K Cafe: SO WHAT?

Thanks again to both of you (generosity begats gratitude and vice versa), and to all who took part last week.
