Hello everyone, how are you? I hope you're doing well. I'm back again to participate in this weekly contest. In the past few days, I've been quite busy with my new job. I've had personal goals that I've forgotten to write on the hive. So, this time I'm ready to share with you again.
What rituals are meaningful to me? What rituals are meaningful to me? Actually, I want to share a little about my experience. Maybe this is a spiritual experience or something else. For the past few days, I haven't given alms. Usually, I share food with a few people.
This year, I give alms quite often. It can be on the weekends or at the beginning of the week, depending on my finances. But, I haven't done it in the last few weeks. What happened? I feel like my finances are in disarray. Another thing I've been feeling is that I feel a little less. Usually, after I give alms, I feel very happy.
Alms is another word for sharing. I use food to share with others. Seeing others happy from the food I give makes me happy. Moreover, the food I share makes others happy. For me, giving alms is a weekly ritual I look forward to.
At the same time, I can feel happy. I can feel calm, too. For the past few weeks, because I haven't done it, I've felt empty inside. Furthermore, I feel like my finances are leaking. Sometimes money just disappears without my knowledge.
Sometimes, I transfer money, and the person I contact doesn't respond. As a result, I need to let it go. This almsgiving means a lot to me. That's all I can share. What do you think? Do you feel the same way? See you again.
