It is need for Religion-Generosity always emphasized the religious world and sometimes the "imposed" on the followers so much to `give` more than to `receive`. Many factors that underlie the religious and the suggestion that the follower be magnanimous and take it. There`s an argument from the perspective of social relationships.
First, in the context of social relationships, the most generous people are usually the most popular in the neighborhood. No matter if he was the "evil" or better. Robinhood story, the master of thieves, for example, shows that a villain will also still loved the environment surrounding the benefactor. Oloan, somekind a king of gambling civilian, also known philanthropist. And therefore, it is also popular among his community not only because his criminal attitude, but also playful his curiosity to people who need helps.
In good social (social virtue) universal, occupy the generosity ranking highest among the other goodness. A "good person" in everyday conversation certainly mean is "philanthropist." Or "He is not stingy."
However khusyu-worship rituals we diligently pray five times for the Moslem, or diligently to church every sunday for the Christian-course we still will not be considered as a "good person" by the surrounding environment if we stingy. Instead, the ritual of the boomerang is so, as we often hear gossip in a chat, "He get diligent pray, but still stingy, too bad." Or, words do other similar means.
Second, every religion always recommend the followers even forced to be generous, among other things, human beings have a tendency to parsimonious. Selfishness or devotion to the man himself was at the humane and profitable in the sense that certain elements of this someone you want to continue pushing forward and always exist and the "win" in the competition-one of the elements of human civilization to make you move forward and grow, unlike some animals, but if not reserve and can reach an extreme level of negative impact on the surrounding social order. Do extraordinary corruption in our country, among others, caused by the elements do not restrained selfishness among (mostly) of the bureaucrats.
Third, the tendency for stingy or generous, in an insting individual. However, if the situation continues to be champain and constrained condition-such as policy by the state, he could be a trend in a nation or national trends. For example, in the West, particularly in the United States there is a trend among to charity for the rich or make a social foundation to help the poor, finance the research projects of disease / drugs, etc. as the foundation of social belonging to Bill Gates, or the Alfred Nobel Foundation, the Ford Foundation scholarship foundation, etc.. One of the elements kondusifnya is because the West, particularly in the United States, such as the social foundation is not charged tax. Generosity, in my understanding, of course, is not only limited to the "willingness to provide material threatening to others without expecting some reply," but also generosity in attitude, especially from senior to subordinate: a diplomat do some voluntary attend the event I held a local staff or students (read, the people), I consider attitudes in other forms of philanthropy. Nevertheless, the material in the form of philanthropy is "most people can understand."
How some poor people eager to give, but they do not have a material can be donated? Stay kept the desire to give, because it will make you (you poor at this time) has a strong determination to have the facilities to be rich to give. At least, a strong desire to give will not make us having human mental as like as beggars mental. In addition, determination will sharpen our awareness of our soul in the harsh environment of the day by day. Is a generous person circumstances surrounding the matter.
