7 Royal Questions On Tuesday #4

The Give and Take Meme

"We've all been givers. We've all been takers. Is it better to give than to receive? Hmmm.....always a question up for debate. Depends on the circumstance I suppose. Who wrote that line anyway? Quite possibly the person who didn't get what he gave. Or maybe a selfless soul full of true righteousness.  Maya Angelou wrote that "giving liberates the soul of the giver."  I would tend to agree. Another favorite quote of mine on the subject is by Khalil Gibran: "Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need."
 

What are our motivations for giving? And what, pray ye, will ye take? That is my question."

2. Can you name a special or unique gift you've received? What made it special to you?  I treat every gifts I receive as 'special'  that's how I do it while growing up..
