Chapter Seventy Two: All the Ways to Be Unhappy

In the field of discipline of the Angelic hosts known as "Guardianship," the very nature of the virtue of generosity primarily stems out from a basic cardinal trait or a fundamental rule: that in order for a generous act to be consummated, it must follow that one must be very happy, innately, touching the deepest substance of his soul, in order to separate the act and attribute it properly to the desired end, which, in this case, is generosity itself. Father Christmas, being the soul and spirit of Santa Claus, a legitimate alter ego that is consubstantial with his own presence, have known this principle long enough to have actually mastered its every known application in the tricky donain of reality.

It is true that it is likely a daunting task to achieve genuine generosity in a world where human nature primarily responds to the stimulus of fear, which then motivates the rational soul to seek his own self-preservation and security. The prospect of having to deal with the difficult times triggers emotional response to the moral host, and he acts blindly to the deceit of the true enemy that lurks deeply into the realities of life by spreading more fear, employing competently the seamless ambiguity in all important affairs.

But for Santa Claus, it was through this very experience of reality that he learned to divulge the secrets of deceit by working with the equation discussed in the principle of generosity but in a reverse manner. He soon realized that the main reason that hinders generosity (and all virtues in general) from being fully consummated is a result of a phenomenon that he calls as the "process of discernment" in which the moral agent freely employs his freedom to make a choice.

In trying to arrive at this all-important choice, the moral agent must analyze the consequences of every choice that is obviously available if such individual agent remembers that he is a rational being and capable of deconstructing complex realities; however, it is sometimes defeated by the need to react with urgency to the situation because of the sudden rush of the stimulus that ultimately appeal to human nature rather than from valid reasoning.

It is in the emergency of the perceived peril that creates the strong emotion of fear, and fear demands that the moral agent reacts to its best interest, regardless of the need to choose what is true from what is false. The philosophical value loses its general appeal, as long as the decision or the choice arrives at a position that is safe, and allows the mind to be comforted by future security. Because of this, Santa Claus concluded his deductive reasoning by saying that fear is actually the main focal point from which the core of selfishness responds.

And by desiring selfish ends, it defeats the main proposition of the complete definition of generosity that sometimes results to a condition of "hyprocrisy," if done without the necessary elements of the basic principles for which the virtue is to be bestowed of its complete metaphysical definition. Hypocritical acts only respond to self-preservation hidden in plain view and the need for a transactional reality (having to expect something in return), which is far too difficult to process because invisible things cannot simply be seen by the literal interpretation of the world.

By trying to get away from the main purpose of generosity, the moral agent is addicted to the comfort and pleasure of those things that can be experienced right in this present moment. Refusing to give something out of his heart, especially one's self-devotion (and beliefs), encourages man towards the quality of hate, because an individual soul must share himself with another one, for it is by his own nature as a social being that he was created for that very purpose, and anything that limits him to this desired relationship of giving something of himself, is where selfishness grows the hate unabatedly.

Man, if he was able to gain, is afraid to lose everything again, so they hold on tightly to material things.

From hate breeds evil things. So by refusing to give, it takes away the magic of life away from the moral choices, disregarding all the moments that elevates reality into something that can be extraordinarily experienced like an impossible magical occurence.

Or the miracles of life. Faith calls it miracles. Science calls it biology.
