i'm the type of person who will not ask for free help. but i give to anyone who asks. asking nothing in return. therefore i get more takers than givers. is it my fault there are more takers in my life? if it weren't for givers there would be no takers. i've always been a giver, can't change that. so what i ask is ,is it our fault? "the givers" because we do what we do and enjoy it, that there are takers who enjoy the same things.

I give when i can. but there nothing worng in taking sometime. Sometime you need someone to give to you.

absolutely , there is nothing wrong with accepting an offer to help because being a giver you know you will somehow someday repay the good samaritan. takers forget quickly who and where the help came from. they often come back many times and ask for your help again and again, never offering to repay the gesture
