In Nicomachean ethics, generosity is the third virtue examined by Aristotle. It directly addresses the idea of ​​generosity as a means to wealth, that is, anything whose value is measured by money. As presented by Aristotle, generosity is the intermediary between waste and lack of generosity, waste being excess and lack of generosity being lack. This virtue, however, does not come naturally; generosity can arise from habit and requires experience as well as time. Although generosity seems like an important virtue, it is not the most essential virtue to a person's well-being. According to Aristotle, generosity is the intermediate virtue between waste and non-generosity. Generally speaking, generosity is not attributed to those who take wealth more seriously than is right. Since generosity concerns wealth and everything whose value is measured by money, everything can be used well or badly. Therefore, by virtue of generosity, the one who is the best user of something is the one who possesses the virtue relating to it, that is, the generous person. While possessing wealth consists of taking and keeping, using wealth consists of spending and giving, which is why "it is more proper for the generous to give to the right people than to take from the right sources and not from the bad sources.” (1120a10). Since not taking is easier than giving, more thanks will be given to the giver. The generous person will also aim for fine in his gift and give correctly; “for he will give to the right people, the right amounts, at the right time, and all the other things that a right giving involves” (1120a25). As a result, it is not easy for the generous person to get rich, since he is willing to spend and not take or keep,...... middle of paper ...... result , the more one directly sees their personal efforts impact someone else, the more happiness one can derive from the experience of giving. Sometimes generosity requires overcoming a feeling of reluctance, because people all instinctively want to keep good things for themselves, but once that feeling is overcome, they will feel satisfaction knowing that they have made a difference in the lives of others. someone else. However, if one lives without generosity but is not selfish, one can still enjoy other virtues. As Aristotle presents it, generosity is the intermediary between waste and lack of generosity, waste being excess and ungenerosity being lack. Lack of generosity is a greater evil than waste and the error in this sense is more common. It is always better to be wasteful than not to be generous, but we must strive to reach the middle..
