It is best if both giver and beneficiary are self-aware and compassionate enough to realize this dynamic. A neat trick indeed!BGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090816377827671435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1981818822875633445.post-76744810799477512422012-01-10T17:01:57.928-06:002012-01-10T17:01:57.928-06:00A 'giver' who is willing to give everythin...A 'giver' who is willing to give everything with all his heart is indeed a good giver, but the one on the other side, the 'beneficiary' is only living up to his giver if he is too modest to take or to expect the giver to give everything, because if one beneficiary takes all, there is nothing left for others or for the giver himself. <br />So one should never ever take or expect everything from a giver, no matter how much this giver offers everything and no matter how big the affliction of the beneficiary is. <br /><br />Sounds pretty elevated, I know ;-) but these declamatory words were the best ones that came to my mind after reading this blog entry. <br />And I just simply believe in this, if what I wanted to say came out right. <br />It's not easy to live up to this ideal, but we (includes myself, too, of course) should at least sincerely give it a shot.Thomas Heimannhttp://my-autographs.denoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1981818822875633445.post-19104599286359595312012-01-10T13:30:42.047-06:002012-01-10T13:30:42.047-06:00Great words, my friend.
