On Giving

I've been thinking about the process of giving recently. In the past few years I've noticed that I have become the kind of a person who gives a lot. The more experience I gain, the clearer it becomes to me how the whole process actually works.


To give unconditionally is the kind of giving everyone should strive for. To know that you're giving but not expecting the other one to give back is the place where you can be sure you have reached the top. It is not a giving process if you expect gratitude; it is not a giving process if you expect something in return. The best is, you can give no matter your social status, your occupation, relgious views etc. You can give anytime, anywhere, to anyone.

It's all in here...


If You Have Given

by Emil Dimitrov

1. If you have given the hungry one even a crumb of your bread
If you have given the homeless one even a spark of your fire
If you have given your dear one part of your heart
If you have given other people life of your life.

2. If you have given, if you have given,
If you have given something from yourself,
then you haven't lived in vain. (2x)

Ref.:
Nobody can take away people's love from you
Nobody can take away your love towards people
And nobody and nothing will ever take away your trust in people.

Truth, you are sometimes late
but you always come to us.

3. If you have taken away even a bit of someone else's fame
If you have heard a rumour and repeat it even for a second
If you are an enemy to the villain but listen to him even once
If you have eaten from your friend's bread and then forget him.

Were you even supposed to be born? (2x)

Ref.:
Nobody can take away people's love from you
Nobody can take away your love towards people
And nobody and nothing will ever take away your trust in people.

Truth, you are sometimes late
but you always come to us.
