But as our life is bound by our conclusions, positive or negative beliefs, some people do not have guilt sensations because they push their inner voice aside with words like — “Everyone is doing that wrong.” And thus, they linger in their comfort zone.
But for those whose thoughts have stirred up in the brain and have flown to the words — ‘God’s grinding mill moves slow but grinds fine’; and, become conscious to the fact that after this life on this planet, they will have to stand before His judgment seat to receive the reward of their good deeds, or to pay the price of their bad actions. These thoughts and this awareness generate generosity and accelerate their desire to be born again – not biological rebirth but spiritual awakening. So, they try their best to repent and bask in the sunshine of charity to get rid of their guilt.
Generosity is the good quality of not being tied down by worry about one’s possessions.
It is unselfishness that gives time, money, food, or kindness to people in need. In brief it is a proof that one is human. However, there are different types of individual kindness.
The first type of generosity is civility that is giving in return for something one has already received earlier. Here, generosity itself, generate generosity. It reminds me of exchanging Christmas sweets, during X’mas times, from house to house a few years down the lane of my childhood.
The second type of pure generosity is selflessness; that is, without any expectations in return — not even a smile of gratitude. Here the charity is given and forgotten. ‘It is a language of kindness that even the deaf can hear, the blind can see and an ordinary person, feels extra-ordinary!’ It is the compassion shown towards beggars by kind-hearted passersby.
The third type of adulterated generosity is tricky, which is stirred by secret reason. Here the fox in the sponsor looks how compassion is going to benefit him in return. And if it does, he makes a show of his big-warm heartedness. A ready example is of politicians who make use of every institution— religion, social or educational, to shower his hidden-motive-donations on them. Such bounteousness is not an act of humanitarian aid but a step to influence votes during election.
The fourth type of strained generosity is guilt-generated. It comes from those, who were locked into immoral activities; locked in extra-marital relationship; locked in crimes made difficult to see; locked with crab-mentality of pulling others down with schemes and false blames. But when hit by strong guilt blows, they bathe their sins of omission with charities; bathe their sins of commission with charities, just for the sake of forgiveness.
Guilt feelings are never dead. Sometimes, in the immediate present or in the distant future, they make us uncomfortable by popping up in our consciousness.
