Giving is an act of faith whose only real proof is love; it is an act of affection that comes out of the heart and spreads with closed eyes; the amount of affection involved in this act is the measure of its vigour. no hidden reasons can be simple, but offering with will and sincerity is not so simple.
So no: it’s not just what you can give to others or what you get from them, it’s also the love you invest or harvest in each action, it seems contradictory, but to fill the soul you have to share the emotional intensity that we carry in it.
- It seems that the concept of receiving something from someone implies the idea of adding up and that the concept of giving implies the idea of being left out.
- It is likely that this will happen sometimes.
- But there will be many other occasions when this law will not be respected: without realizing it.
- There are those who forget that the act of offering may be able to feed us in the same way or even more than to obtain.
It’s true that they’re both important. In fact, giving for the pleasure of doing this with your heart is as valuable as knowing how to receive the same from others, assuming both a dynamic that must occur alternately and that generates happiness and personal satisfaction.
We get and win, but we give and we can earn more. The Greeks have considered in the past that emotional intelligence is at people’s hearts. So what is precious is the love you convey in what you give or the emotion you show when you receive it, not the superficial act of doing it.
In this same sense, it is fair to say that talking about giving and receiving heart translates into giving us as people and knowing what others want to achieve. Personal relationships are really that: an emotional part of us steals every time we give honestly, and an essential part of the other stays within us when we open up to receive it.
Offering without affection means nothing, doing one favor for interest is not pleasant, thinking about the other by obligation is transient, etc. However, everything changes when we put love into what we do.
In this case, if we put affection in the gift we will enrich what we deliver, remove the masks, open the most vulnerable doors inside and we will not be able to perceive the purest part we have.
“No one is more generous than the one who gives himself up” – P. Lus Carlos Aparicio Mesones-
This is the most precious and hardest effect on the people around us: if someone has done something for you with their heart, you will know how that act is etched in your memory, the most honest emotional acts are enclosed in this box where we keep the memories. objects, people or ideas that have real value throughout our lives.
You may think you’re giving more than you’re getting, and that’s not fair. Also, I’m pretty sure you’re tired of not seeing an answer similar to yours in other people. The disappointment you feel when you realize that this is not about not receiving, but about feeling that you may not be very important to them.
However, I tell you, give with love, sooner or later, however small it may seem, something comes back.
To do this, we need to be observers and filter our donation actions in a healthier way. Once we do, we are more likely to recognize a simple smile of gratitude, a few words of affection, and a minimal gesture meant to make us happy.
“We only have what we give. We don’t own ourselves, only when we turn ourselves in to someone. True service requires sacrifices. -Enmanuel Mounier-
Thus, it may seem difficult to distinguish such openness, but it is not impossible. You cannot live in society unless you believe in reciprocity, human goodness or mutual recognition. We deserve a love that we must be able to give to maintain our self-esteem in a healthy state.
