Cynicism and the Generous Life

I suspect that the one of the things that most undermines our ability to live generous lives is our cynicism. We believe that everyone will be suspicious of our motives, and that no one will receive our generosity. We buy into the, “There’s no such thing as a free lunch,” mentality and it stifles our open-handedness.
If we are going to live truly generous lives, then we must begin to believe that generosity will not always be rejected.
