There is so much to say about giving, a lot has been said and a lot is yet to be said. Different people have different opinions about giving, who should be given and what should be given. Personally, I admire people who give, because I don't consider myself a fantastic giver. I am more on the shrewd side; you have to be really deserving to get anything from me. This, of course, is not something I am particularly proud of. Sometimes, I wish I can do more. On the bright side, despite being a stingy giver; when I eventually give, I do so with all my heart, without holding back.
I have met some people who end up regretting their act of giving. sometimes they say "I shouldn't have given so much, he didn't even say a thank you." It beats me because giving is supposed to be a selfless act (Selfless-as in the act of caring for others more than oneself) This means one is expected to detach oneself when giving-give only what you can afford to lose.
We are different individuals, so don't go doing something because somebody else did. If giving out a cent will give you sleepless nights, then please hold onto your money. There are so many other ways we can give of ourselves to humanity. Giving does not have to be in material form alone. You can give in form of service, lending a listening ear or even giving out useful advice, support, and comfort. Whenever you doing something for another with your whole heart; without a reason, without any attachments, without expectations or reward. You are giving, and your reward is in heaven.
