Blinded by invisible abstract concepts such as wealth, investment, interest, socioeconomic status, and profit - our social systems often obstruct the natural flow of generosity with attachments, greed, and possessiveness.
Generosity could be innate, as evidenced by our evolutionary anomaly of hoarding to the point of the peril of the whole species in modern times.
Studies reveal that even toddlers experience more joy when giving treats to others rather than receiving them. Likewise, Capuchin monkeys have demonstrated an understanding of generosity by refusing unequal rewards and showing distress when others are treated unfairly.
However, in contemporary society, our instincts can become misaligned or manipulated with our virtual and psychologically insular environments.
Wisdom texts also convey that generosity is our natural state; to give is to receive or to hold one's breath is to lose it. This episode explores ways to remove the impediments.
