Giving

A very famous saying: it is in giving that we receive.
When I was younger I thought this was just a clever paradox
Now I see it is so much more than that; it is a simple but giant truth.

If we selflessly give,
we get immediately a superb peace of mind, so big,
not even a little bit comparable to the peace of mind
that we get when we receive something precious

If we selflessly give
we will become friends with like-minded people
who if we are in need will selflessly help us too.
