Generosity is a virtue that doesn't have anything to do of if someone is rich or not. It is the thought of giving to others happiness and pleasure. Of course, people would want to give him something in return..
He knew the 'Secret' or the Law of 'whatever you give freely it comes seven folds back'! But this has to be spontaneous or a ..second nature. Our inner-self 'knows'exactly our motivation.
Love,

Yes this story is beautifull. I had many experineces in my life, that if you are giving, you are getting two times back.
You give love, care, present, and you get back joy and smile on the faces and in the hearts of people.
And many times people are giving you back more even physicaly.

It is incedible.Your heart is jumping after two times more.
For this has a sense to live.

He wanted to share his “comming home” hapiness with his family and community. He didn’t want to be different then the rest of them, he wanted to be accepted, respected, loved by community. And they didn’t love him more just because he spent his money with them, but because he respected them also and gave them the this sign of appreciation for he was again a part of community.
It has something commun with the “Corporate Social Responsibility” (to give something back to the community that created you and let you exist and develop).

This man gave “where the giving was most blessed,” something that the Divine asks of us all – this type of surrender, as a tree freely surrenders it’s leaves. Unfortunately, few of us can ever succeed at this, because all the while, even as we are dying, even to the last breath and beyond (in or written wills) we are still clinging.

ONE STAR FELL AND ANOTHER by Conrad Aiken

One star fell and another as we walked.
Lifting his hand toward the west, he said-
-How prodigal that sky is of its stars!
They fall and fall, and still the sky is sky.
Two more have gome, but heaven is heaven still.

Then let us not be precious of our thought,
Nor of our our words, nor hoard them up as thought
We thought our minds as heaven which might change
And lose its virtue when the word had fallen.
Let us be prodigal, as heaven is;
Lose what we lose, and give what we may give,-
Ourselves are still the same. Lost you a planet-?
Is Saturn gone? Then let him take his rings
Into the Limbo of forgotten things.

O little foplings of the pride of mind,
Who wrap the phrase in lavender, and keep it
In order to display it; and you, who save your loves
As if we had not worlds of love enough-:

Let us be reckless of our words and worlds,
And spend them freely as the tree his leaves;
And give them where the giving is most blest.
What should we save them for,- a night of frost…?
All lost for nothing, and ourselves a ghost.

I agree with this story. It’s very beautiful. I try to save my money to more important things but I always spend them on my friends and good music, which is the moste important things in life.
