When to give, when to receive. (A)





   This topic is very interesting because they can be used to describe different aspect of our lives. It can be use for wisdom, like for instant you give someone wisdom and you can also receive wisdom from other. It can be used for emotion, like for instant you can give love and also receive love. And it can also be use for charity, like for instant you can get someone food and also you can receive food from others.

 
   It is much easier to receive them to give. But it is definitely can not always be in one direction only, it is all a matter of balance as to know when to give and when to receive. In this article I will talk about this topic in a form of charity. Like for example the United States is a major contributor in giving food for those country that are unable to provide. But like in the old wisdom a says "give a man a fish and he will come tomorrow asked for more, but tissue man how to fish and he will be able to provide his family for years to come". But that is a wisdom that goes a long way.

   There is also a well-known philosophy that goes "there is no such thing as free lunch". Somebody somewhere has to farm and grow the food, harvest them, packaged them and transport them. And then someone have to pay for it and give it for free.

   Humanity by nature is a giving people, but when that nature becomes abusive it is consider as stealing. It will be nice to have your refrigerator full of food without working for it, but then we will become an individual that not only is not only self-sufficient, but also do not have the thrive to accomplish things for themselves in life.

   What would happen if school decided that instead of teaching the wood just give you the answer, how will the children develop the ability to become intelligent. If school begin to do that they will be developing children that will be ignorant and would not know the simple mathematic of 5+5=10.

 
   Like in the animation movie Wall-e the machine was providing everything for the human that they became dependent on the machine, as a result not only that he became lazy but lost the ability to become self sufficient.

 
   This also fall in the same category in regarding to financial stability. Wouldn't be nice to have a bundle of money for free. But then you would lose the ability to thrive and try to be an successful and an achiever, these are the quality the makes an individual not only proud of himself but also self dependent.Some people are also losing the ability to have ethics, some people will consider that is okay that they do not have the ability to be successful or to be an achiever. So in the own mind. They would just care that they are financially maintain and don't care of being self-sufficient. That is when it becomes abusive of receiving charity.

 
   The preface of humanity in this world is to become a participant and active in our productive society. We can be active whether in labor, inventor, educator, scientists or an engineer. I believe these are the five major areas that we have all participated in one time or another. These are the area to have made civilization and made it possible for all to prosper.

   There was a time that someone have to work for 16 hours to achieve for we do today in two hours. I would life has become much easier and less harder to achieve what back then has taken much greater hours and even days to achieve. We should appreciate what we have, and we should be grateful when we receive charity. But when we take a vanish and become abusive of the good nature of charity that we are becoming not only lazy but cynic. But those of us that freely give charity to other should not encourage those who would take a vanish of the good nature of giving.
