CHAIN OF EXCHANGE
We all can remember trade by barter. Even though some may
not have been born when this act was in existence but have definitely heard
about it. Even from the name we can clearly understand what it means.
Permit me to ask a question: do people always expect a
receiving in every of their giving? Your guess is as good as mine. Most people
do! Too many people give out to await some form of receiving in return from the
person on the receiving end…more like a “chain of exchange”, especially when it
involves different genders i.e. a male assisting a female or perhaps vice
versa. There’s usually this tendency to ask for a relationship (or even
something more) at the end of such giving. This exchange has become the basis
of so many relationships today which has led to many heart breaks because they
believe they must always have something in exchange for whatever they give.
True giving is in learning how to give without having to
expect anything in return. It’s a good thing to learn how to give cheerfully
and wholeheartedly when you find yourself in a position to do so.
The popular saying ‘givers never lack’ is actually a very
good quote and wise saying. Reason being that the quote didn’t say anything
about your receiving but at the same time says ‘they never lack’. Giving to
others is a beautiful thing, because he who gives will surely receive back in
folds in some way or the other. But, giving without expecting anything in
return is the height of true giving. If I give out, you give out, he gives out
and she gives out, it all comes down to the giver receiving. It is a chain,
just like the world in spherical shape, the chain goes round and round again,
and then we discover we lack in no area of life.
Make a decision today to touch a soul, help the weak and
give a helping hand when you can without necessarily expecting any form of
exchange. That is when you have truly given.
You have never really lived until you help someone who
cannot repay you!
hmmmm. right
