Giving

i used to think that if i gave everything i could to another person, that person would love me in reture. then i learnt that we tend to love the people we give to- more than the people we recieve from. the more you give, the more your love grows. its like the same when our parents give to us. the more they do for us, the more they love us. however, its not true the opposite way. most often, the kids who revieve a lot seem to resent their parents the most.

love flows in the direction of giving. love and giving come together. we tend to think that loving leads to giving because we see people giving to someone they love, but its actually the way around. 'the one who gives, loves'.

love doesnt last cause people tend to be takers, not givers. when two people are strongly attracted to one another, they become givers and lovers. after a while, these strong feelings lose their grip and people relapse into being takers, and each start making demands on the other. when demands begin, love departs.
