Are we giving because we want to, because it's our responsibility? Or are we giving because we feel obligated, guilty, ashamed, or superior?
Are we giving because we feel afraid to say no?
Are the ways we try to assist people helpful, or do they prevent others from facing their true responsibilities?
Are we giving so that people will like us or feel obligated to us?
Are we giving to prove we're worthy? Or are we giving because we want to give and it feels right?

...at first I thought because I was ashamed, and then a little later I realise because I want to and it feels right
because I want to and it feels right, what more reason do we need.

Jeeps...I have learned & am still learning the whens and whats of giving. I was brought up to give when we can what we can. Unfortunately that has led me to a good bit of sleepless nights & hungry days. Giving is one of those double edged things...it is selfish and selfless. It can also be rewarding and debilitating. sigh...
