You must learn to give without the expectation of receiving in return. Without the interaction and company of others, we would all be alone with nobody to share with and talk to. Remember, most items are only held as significant in our society because we have placed a price, or worth, on those very items. Without others we would not know the value of the items we feel we need and want. More importantly, sharing makes us feel good because we know that, in one way or another, we can help others by giving of ourselves in a number of ways.
Giving is a great attribute for us as human beings to have. We must learn to become giving towards others and also learn to forgive as well. Forgiveness, too, is another form of giving. When we give without the expectation of receiving, it is an unconditional act. In such a transaction, if you will, a neutralizing effect takes place and what was given is bound to return manifold. Generosity should be held a one of the most profound fulfillments in life, as it results in practicing humility and learning a number of lessons in our daily lives. The joy obtained from giving is much greater than that experienced in receiving and taking what we desire or feel we want or need.
