Live generously, and life will be generous to you in return.

No it won't. This only holds if people are willing to recognize all the good one has done.

Then you have not lived generously.

No. This is an example why generosity is only recognized when it's convenient. Same as how religion only recognizes "god's intervention" when it's to their benefit, same as how if the message isn't welcome people will "misunderstand" and villify an innocent person.

This is an example of why altruism isn’t real

Hmmm.. that sounds harsh. I'm not sure. I think altruism is real, but there are preconditions, such as a society with sufficiently low level of corruption.

It’s not a dig at you. I personally don’t believe altruism is real because people always have an agenda or incentives. It’s not that they are always bad. Some can be good.

, and define life being generously back simply as the satisfaction of having helped others with your labor 🫂

It’s more tangible than that.

I agree. Just wonder whether people focusing on it needing to be might miss the satisfaction for the as-yet unfilled consumption aspirations and feelings of deservedness.
