What I have found is if you are overly generous to the people around you, they will lose appreciation and will only greed for more. Additionally, being over-generous is not economical, because eventually all resources will be exhausted which results in higher need to create more resources and will bring stress upon you. Then, if you decide to discontinue or limit your generosity, you will be labeled as a miser. With this understanding in my own life, I have found that guarding against the people’s hatred is more important than building up a reputation for generosity. That has been my mistake throughout my adult life. I guess that's what they mean. You know, "more money, more problems". Now I truly know that one should be more willing to be reputed a miser than be hated for trying to be too generous. Pops always said don't let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. So profound. Thanks Freddie James!
