Sutta Nipāta the Maṅgla Sutta 258-272
Generosity, doing right,
And the helping of relatives,
Doing actions that are blameless.
—This is the highest of blessings.
Doing the right thing does not mean giving yourself away, certainly not compromising your life, health, and well being. To be blameless and generous does not mean fixing anyone else, but offering only what is needed in the moment, usually simply listening, hearing, and being present for others.
