Generosity

The virtue of generosity is even more noble than bravery and strength combined. With generosity in mind, one wishes to help others instead of him or herself.
Without the respectable virtue that is generosity, the ones in need of another one's kindest support would be left to fend for themselves, or continue to
be, ignored, left for dead, left to fend helplessly for themselves. Even in such cases in which those generous beings decide to help with those who previously requested their help but ignored their kind gesture and so carelessly sent him or her on his or her way should take the given opportunity to return the helper's generosity by accepting their help even when they don't need it.

To accept and give is, in my honest opinion, the true meaning of generosity. Support one another, help the ones in need and help those who can help yourself. It's never too early, and it's never too late to adopt the virtue of generosity into your own life.


After thoughts:

I do believe generosity is all that I said in today's post. The line that started with 'Even in such cases in which...' was a nod to one of the School Based Youth Services Program members came into my study hall and asked if he could help the students with dealing with teenage stress and he said he'd do the actual helping the following week, the following week came, and everyone ignored him! Such careless fools! I of course, couldn't accept his kind gesture because I was busy with homework on that day and it just made me feel so bad that he was eager to help these children and couldn't help anyone that day.

Patience

The virtue of patience is one that is highly coveted to me. It is one I exhibit most often. To be a patient entity is to be a very calm and well-kept person indeed. To me, the virtue of patience is a blissful virtue and if one shall ever be patient, then they are not at all violent, because patient people will usually keep a calm and decent composure. That is why I always tell myself "Ask and in time you shall receive". If you ask and wait patiently, what you have asked for will come to you. To conclude this, I love the virtue of patience. not only the characteristic, but also the word itself. To me, it is a very graceful and elegant word in the English language.

After thoughts:

I do believe patience is a beautiful aspect of a person's character. I myself am as I may have thoroughly explained it, am a very very patient person, mostly because I never talk, and by never talking, I've honed my ability to keep patient.
