The poetry of Al-Mutanabbi, who said: "If you honor the generous, you possess him," is considered among the most famous poetry even to this day, as Al-Mutanabbi's poetry has succeeded in influencing the souls and minds of peoples throughout the ages.
Therefore, we find that the title of this article reflects the state of the societies we live in in the diaspora, as we almost use it every day in our lives as long as we find evildoers and envy roaming everywhere. However, this should not shake our confidence in ourselves, in our values, in our morals, and in our noble human orientations as long as we believe in them.
From here, it must be understood that an individual might be very mistaken if he thinks he must deal with people of different types, cultures, and religions in the same way. Rather, he must deal with them with the refined human treatment that reflects his beautiful nature, identity, culture, and creed, despite the fact that there are types of people who think that refined treatment is weakness and expect that the respect, appreciation, and generosity shown by a generous person is fear and devaluation. However, they are ignorant that he cannot put all people on the same level; every person deserves treatment that suits their nature. Therefore, dealing with people is a difficult art to master except through mastering certain behaviors and believing in special capabilities and status. But it is necessary to try to understand individuals without making mistakes, and also to differentiate between the generous and the mean in treatment.
So the generous must be treated with the same generosity and more. As for the mean, one must be cautious of him, keep away from him, and not listen to him or his stories, which are often suspicious and confused, as much as possible because he delights in harming others and sowing discord among them, which is a real reflection of unsound upbringing.
Therefore, the wise person is the one who knows well how to deal with all people with flexible rules and speaks to them according to their intellect. He should not expect that all people are characterized by generosity, wisdom, honesty, good morals, or the ability to understand others, or that all of them are characterized by meanness and deceit. People are of all kinds; some are grateful and good, and others deny and do not appreciate anything.
!So it is the human relationship that grows out of the subjectivity of the idea about the nature of the person and the necessity of determining the relationship with him before moving forward to determine his generosity or meanness. Therefore, it is preferable in modern societies, which are invaded by gossip and hypocrisy, that a person defines his idea about the other early and within healthy human rules and noble ethics to determine his relationship with him by following up on his stances and not only by hearsay, so that there is no injustice between, and consequently regret for what is done to an innocent person or one who does not have what hypocrites, gossips, and liars who are titles and makers of discord possess.
The generous is the one with noble stances that speak for themselves, and he represents a gem of the aspects of humanity and does not need proof. This requires no great effort, and this also applies to the mean who is the owner of malicious and evil stances, but it is difficult to expose that easily especially among the ignorant and naïve who accept to abandon their minds to become captives of such wicked and mean people who make them merchandise for profit and trade with their pains and sorrows.
Therefore, caution must be taken in befriending or honoring the mean, because dealing with the mean is a waste of time, and this type of person is treacherous and not deserving of generosity. The opposite is true as the generous deserves to be dealt with with all generosity, and this is a human investment that does not go to waste.
Also, the generous does not look for faults to serve his evil idea by defaming this and that, but he always tries with his generosity to find excuses and justifications because his heart is full of love and good, unlike the heart of the mean who searches in every detail to find mistakes and faults that help him justify his foolishness and filthiness of thought while delighting in harming others.
Therefore, we find that the generous is always noble and proactive and characterized by manliness, unlike the mean who is negative, selfish, stingy, unhappy, devours himself, and spies on the behavior of others.
Far, far between the worthless and the valuable, as it is impossible for the mean to be generous, nor can the generous become mean!
Therefore, if you do good, you do good for yourselves, and if you do evil, it is for it, and every container overflows with what it contains.
This is the state of the world, and all we have to do is be among those who pursue a love of life to live it in all its details without drowning ourselves in how to harm anyone. Rather, we must be generous to ourselves to be generous to others and thus create a spark of hope and become life-makers so that there are truly generous people in behavior and giving.
