I agree with the quotation you have posted. If we really feel like giving, we just do it without expecting anything in return. You know, there are those who give and those who only take. Both get true pleasure from what they do. So, if you belong to the first group, you are happy to give out, while the members of the other group are happy to get what you give. And I mean not only material things like charity or investments in our social life. First of all, I mean feelings. Do you remember Scorpions "What you give, you get back"?
"Take my life, it is the only thing I have,
Take my soul, take my heart.
I will never want them back!"
As to me, I am a giver and I have never expected anything back, but it is great to feel the feedback anyway!
Happy New Year!
Love without any expectation of return!
The most truly generous persons are those who give silently without hope of praise or reward.
What do you think?
