That sounds like what I'm working on in therapy right now. (Well I was, before I got sidetracked.)
Generosity of spirit.
I've recently come to the opinion that generosity of spirit benefits the person showing it more than the person they're showing it to. And that much pain in life is caused by *not* cultivating generosity of spirit, and by holding onto pain or seeing the many unkindnesses instead of the many kindnesses.
But clearly I'm a work in process.
