Ever wonder if generosity is ever really what it seems? Picture this: Charles, a Harvard-educated guy from a rich Republican Boston family, thinks he’s too highbrow for army surgical duty. His family gifts him pricey chocolates for Christmas, which he guards jealously—friends label him selfish, but here’s the kicker: he’s actually sending those sweets off to kids in war-torn Korea. Now, toss in today’s cosmic cocktail—Mercury in retrograde mixing with a dash of Scorpio’s secrecy—and you can guess how misconceptions brew faster than a bad horoscope! But when Charles finds out the orphanage’s selling the candy on the black market, his outrage flips the script entirely. Turns out, those “selfish” actions sparked a deeper generosity than anyone expected. So, is generosity about appearances or outcomes? Let’s chew on that while savoring a metaphorical piece of chocolate. LEARN MORE.
“He came from a rich, republican family in Boston and went to Harvard Medical School. He believed he was not suited to be in army service with the plebes of an army surgical unit. Then we see other characteristics about him. His family sends him expensive chocolate for Christmas, but he doesn’t share it with anyone. His friends think he is being selfish. Turns out he was donating the candy to a charity so kids in war-torn Korea could taste ‘real chocolate.'”
“It turns out the orphanage was selling the candy, at black market prices, instead of giving it to the kids. Charles corners the charity guy and yells at him. Then the guy apologizes and explains, yeah, the chocolate may give the kids a moment of joy, but now we have enough money to buy the orphanage rice and cabbage for a month.
Charles says HE is the one who should apologize.”
