Generosity

Generosity (also called largess) is the virtue of being unattached to material possessions, often symbolized by the giving of gifts. Generosity is regarded as a virtue by various world religions, and is often celebrated in cultural and religious ceremonies. Scientific investigation into generosity has examined the effect of a number of scenarios and games on individuals' generosity, and potential links with neurochemicals such as oxytocin, and relationship with similar feelings, such as that of empathy.— Husain ibn AliAnd though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.And this I pray, that your charity may more and more abound in knowledge, and in all understanding my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. 'Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children.'अपूर्व: कोपि कोशोयं विद्यते तव भारति |व्ययतो वॄद्धिम् आयाति क्षयम् आयाति संचयात् || Generosity (also called largess) is the virtue of being unattached to material possessions, often symbolized by the giving of gifts.

Generosity is sometimes used to denote charity, (the virtue of giving without expecting anything in return). It can involve offering time, assets or talents to aid someone in need. In times o natural disaster, relief efforts are frequently provided, voluntarily, by individuals or groups acting unilaterally in making gifts of time, resources, goods, money, etc. Generosity is a guiding principle for many registered charities, foundations, and non-profit organizations.
