In my mind wealth means the ability to be generous without feeling that unpleasant pinch inside.
My generosity is forced now. I make myself give.
Don't do it then?
I've tried that.
I've tried re-gifting and giving just the amount necessary so that I don't feel deprived of anything myself, but that amount gets smaller and smaller and the pinch gets bigger. Misers have cramped souls. Frugal is good, stingy is bad.
Generosity is wealth.
Can I give too much. I don't think I'm really in danger of doing that. But to have nothing to give away, no glass of water, no kind word, no meal or $10 tip or birthday cake, that makes me feel as though I were really poor.
Of course inside myself I always say that I have not given enough. The whole world is my business and I would need an infinite supply of everything to satisfy all of that. It's just a desire. A desire that speaks of generosity and wealth to come.
