#generosity
In all of my travels I've met good people around the world, everywhere, but Palestinians are some of the most loving and generous people I've ever met. And I'm thinking back to Gaza and to Nablus and to areas where they've been enduring horrific abuse, systematic abuse, by the Israeli army and illegal colonists, and they're still so loving.

Train yourself in doing good
that lasts and brings happiness.
Cultivate generosity, the life of peace,
and a mind of boundless love.
Itivuttaka 1.22

Gift
http://www.passionriver.com/gift.html
Creative documentary inspired by Lewis Hyde’s The Gift. Chronicling gift-based cultures around the world and challenging the logic of global capitalism, the film provokes the question: is life about getting, or giving?
Gift is a feature-length documentary and crossmedia project inspired by Lewis Hyde’s classic bestseller The Gift: “a brilliant defense of the value of creativity and it’s importance in a culture increasingly governed by money and overrun with commodities.”
Gift invites us to question our fundamental economic values, proposing the possibility of a new collective narrative. Following its characters and the challenges they encounter, it explores the questions and contradictions involved in giving and receiving - and inspired by Hyde’s approach, asks what it might mean to “share our gifts” in more meaningful ways. As the film unfolds, it explores the openness and receptivity required to receive our gifts-the things willpower alone cannot produce.
“My concern is the gift we long for, the gift that, when it comes, speaks commandingly to the soul and irresistibly moves us.”
― Lewis Hyde, The Gift

Overcome the angry by non-anger;
overcome the wicked by goodness;
overcome the miser by generosity;
overcome the liar by truth.

It’s No Longer Survival of the Fittest, But an Extension of Generosity to Others

Paul suggests that we could not only learn a lot from studying nature more closely, we could benefit from emulating the inter-connected way that species in the natural world survive. Consequently, we need to reframe our scientific understanding of how the world operates beyond the human sphere.
