The Art Of Giving
Giving graciously is a sentiment that labors
under a
dichotomy. On one hand, giving is a beautiful
expression of
warm feelings that come from the
heart. And yet, it is easy to find
oneself under
tremendous pressure to unearth the ultimate
manifestation
of those feelings. It often becomes
a competition of who can buy the
most generous,
most expensive, or most thoughtful gift. But it has
never been necessary to realize the spirit of giving
in material form.
True generosity is merely a matter
of a deep understanding of the
recipient's tastes,
hopes, needs, and dreams.
