Is it better to give, or to receive?

Have you fallen in deep thought now? Or, have you not? What do you think of this question? Is giving better, or receiving?

Receiving something brings us a lot of joy! How do you feel when you receive loads of beautifully wrapped gifts on your birthdays? It makes us super happy.

Or, how does it feel when it is your exam, and you have forgotten your pens and pencils at home, and someone helps you out by giving you the supplies you need? It has happened a million times with me.

But, have you thought about this? When someone gives us something, be it a gift or a help, we reward them back, with a help they need, or even a gift. 🙂

A girl is giving a gift to someone. A girl is showing kindness.
Carry out a random act of kindness with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you.

Don’t you think that giving something to someone is also receiving? Giving, repays you with two things: 1. Happiness and

2. A help/ reward from the person you gave something.

Isn’t it quite amazing?! So now, what do you think is better? Giving, or receiving? And giving can be anything. You can give people kindness, knowledge, love, a favor, a gift, your time, a compliment and even a smile! It doesn’t just have to be money or an expensive gift. And I bet what you give, will come back to you! Remember, every action has a reaction.

So, don’t be a tight-arse while giving! Because giving always has a rebound effect. You will soon get back what you gave, may be in some other way.

Be kind,
