Beautiful & Generous

 

Here is a response comment to @dogtrax  ‘s haiku response-annotations in one of my blog posts. It has clearly gone off the rails into the deep realm of  WTF-istan.

Beautiful and generous.

What part of beautiful is generous
and what part of generous is beautiful.
If all acts and things that are generous
are beautiful by definition,
but all things beautiful are not necessarily generous,
can there really be
a Venn diagram
of their intersection?
How might we divide the set of beautiful,
but not generous?
I know some beautiful people
who are not generous.
And further, can a non-human thing
even be said to be generous?
If I am truly generous,
I will have to admit
I don’t know.
