Giving away treasures

A question popped my over-crowded mind: What do we give? When I retrospect, I see us giving away things we needed the least. The change we’re trying to bring by ‘giving’ is counter-productive except a very few times. By giving the things needed the least, we are confirming the societal biases and differences (remember us creating it in the past?). Inside we want to eradicate that, but our actions aren't saying so. Actually, we should be giving (rather I would say sharing) what we love the most, what we need the most.

Giving is to receive; the more you give, the more you get. Hah, we all know that! Yet, we stuff ourselves with many things that we treasure and use them rarely. The art of living more with less is what I want to talk and learn more about, not the life less with more. I've been fortunate to be part of a few groups who do unnoticed giving; they give in dark when no one sees them. They give all that they have; they share. We need to replace the attitude of giving with attitude of sharing.

Give away things you needed the most once, give away things you need the most now; give away smiles, give away love, give away happiness, give away your 100% in everything you do, give away all times not only during the needy times. Give away things every now and then and it will show you that you really didn't needed many of the things you were tempted to buy. (A different POV: Replace all “give away” words with “share”).

What are the things you can live without? Give them away! I will…until the moment I close my eyes!!

...being a lighthouse...

Always a pleasure to keep others happy and smiling, taking the pains and sorrows with you. I have had this experience with all my kins&kiths. No wonder, I am a kind of outcast now... Thought of breaking up all the myths and unrealistic traditions, and landed up learning the lessons that life teaches you throughout the entire lifecycle. During this learning, I got so many questions unanswered and unsolved, as it goes, it is always true that some questions doesn't have any answers :( ...hmmm. back to the topic of being the lighthouse... sometimes, you find yourself happier, happier than ever before when you shed tears for others.

Yes "TEARS SHED FOR OTHERS ARE ALWAYS BETTER".

Throughout my life, that I have lived up until now... I have gone thru some people (yet to see so many) who used me to any extent and who really shared their joys and sorrows with me as a true friend. Nothing could stop me from cherishing all the moments I had these days... I have been a mentor, friend, teacher, guide, counsellor, to all kind of people. I loved the pleasure in giving. And following words say it all.

"Absolutely everything we do, give, say or even think, it's like a boomerang. It will come back to us. If we want to receive, we need to learn to give first... Maybe we will end with our hands empty, but... our hearts filled with love... And those who love life, have that feeling marked in their hearts." - Steven Covey

Yes, Giving is far better than expecting.
This is the secret of being happy with the life.
