Nice thought. The pleasure of giving is not something everyone has figured out, but is almost like a food or a fuel that one needs once they do... keep writing! enjoying reading, C.A.

Thanks for the insightful truth about giving. It becomes addictive, in the positive sense of that word. Thanks, C.A. :) gw

Great advice. If everyone took it, looking for opportunities to give, it would reinvent the world.

Thanks for the great comment, Caren. 'Reinventing the world,' sounds better to me every day. Cheers, Gershon

Hello Gershon … the reward for giving is a smile and knowing the appreciation is greater than the gift - thanks again Gershon - Lindsay

The need leads to the deed, and then to the smile of love. Thanks, Alexis. :) gw

Splendid, Gershon! St Paul, The Psalmist or Proverbs could not have expressed it better! Another "proverbial" adage from the Master of Adage! Bob

So true Gershon, its better to give than receive, it makes someone's day and gives you a great feeling of satisfaction. Tom
