Which is better? To be giving or to be receiving? Why? If you give, what do you want to give? If you receive, what do you want to receive?

I would want to receive more financial blessings just so I can give more.Over the years, I've been more of a giver and it's very fulfilling.

Yup, it is true that when you give, you'll be blessed more. Somehow or rather, is a it unexplainable, but you'll be bestowed with more gifts from the universe. Gifts be it in health or happiness.

One time I rode a cab and noticed the driver had a bad cough.So, when I went down I handed him triple of the supposed fare and told him to buy medicine.Another incident,I gave an old trike driver a whole crisp bill and greeted him Merry Christmas.The look on both faces was priceless.I noticed too that when I give more, I'm blessed more.I'm not trying to be a hero but it really makes me feel good to be able to help in my own little way.

I believe in the old saying that it is better to give than to recieve. You feel more satisfied when you give to somebody, more espescially if he/she appreciates it, than you might feel when you are the recipient. It doesn't really matter if what we have given is big or small, it's the thoughts that really count.

Big or small, as long as you have the heart to give..you'll be blessed. That's what I believed.

I think they both have their good points. When you give, you make someone else happy and when theyre happy you feel good about yourself to giving. When you recieve, you feel special because someone is buying you something and getting something is always fun! I dont think there's anything wrong with either one, just dont wait around to recieve something.

Therefore, are you a giver or a receiver?
