The Happiness in Giving

Life is good. What make you happy? Money, Love or people? One thing though, I have found that can really make anyone happy and find life to be good is GIVING. We all have what we can give or share - Talent, Time, Money, Love etc. the greatest is love, love guided by principles. Jesus said: “There is more happiness in giving than in receiving”. Try this out today and your happiness shall know no bounds.

i do believe when God gives you abundant blessings, share what you have. But choose the right persons . don't make them parasites who will always depend on you.

yes, the more we share with others, the more God will bless us. and for sure we too we need to be wise in our way of giving so that we are helping someone and not make then dependent of us as you have said.

I have also seen this wonderful outlook work well in business circles. It is called investment in that world but the same rules apply. :-)

unfortunately for most people it is Happiness in taking. if we'd all rather care more about others than about ourselves this world could indeed be a much better place.

indeed there is more happiness in giving than receiving. giving without expecting anything in return. And love is a gift of God, the power to love, the desire to love others... for how much you love God and others will be a determining factor of the influence you have in society... praise Jesus... praise God...

i think i understand your meaning. In China, we hold a point that if we well-off, we help others, if we poor, we help ourselves. ( I don't kown whether I trurely convey the original meaning, my english is not very good.)
