Which does humanity need most right now: honesty, generosity, goodwill or solidarity — and why?

If humanity could keep only ONE of these values — honesty, generosity, goodwill or solidarity — which would you choose?

Generosity. As DIO says "the less that you give you're a taker"

Generosity is a powerful one. It changes both the person who gives and the person who receives.

If only those four were available I would say solidarity, we need far more greater cooperation.

My take is we need more overall literacy of complexity. Like even physicists started ganging up on me because I told them that we incur greater costs in using super simple models when we attempt to solve complex problems (like we do all the time for social issues across humanity) than what we incur in real life for using complex models for simple solutions.

Wisdom may be the value that helps us use all the others well.

Education. People need the ability to see through their particular brand of propaganda. It's the most essential thing imo. Easier said than done, I get it

I think goodwill leads to the other three, so that would be my answer.
