Generosity (also called largess or largesse) is the virtue of not being tied down by concerns about one's possessions.〔Michael Pakaluk, ''Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics: An Introduction'', 2005, p. 173 explains the translation difficulties and names ''generosity'' as the least bad translation of greek ''eleutheriotes'' ((Google Books ))〕 Generosity leads to charity and forgiveness. ==Other uses== It is sometimes used in the meaning of charity (the virtue of giving without expecting anything in return. It can involve offering time, assets or talents to aid someone in need). In times of natural disaster, relief efforts are frequently provided, voluntarily, by individuals or groups acting unilaterally in making gifts of time, resources, goods, money, etc. Generosity is a guiding principle for many registered charities, foundations and non-profit organizations. Generosity can also be spending time, money, or labor for others without being rewarded in return. Although the term generosity often goes hand-in-hand with charity, many people in the public's eye want recognition for their good deeds. Donations are needed to support organizations and committees, however, generosity should not be limited to times of great need such as natural disasters and extreme situations. Generosity is not solely based on one's economic status, but instead, includes the individual's pure intentions of looking out for society's common good and giving from the heart. Generosity should reflect the individual's passion to help others. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「generosity」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
