Do we think about our breathing? Doesn't it go on incessantly? Then why do we think before giving? Surely breathing and giving have no direct comparison. But the isn't a rule forbidding it either.
The act of giving is easier than we think it is. More often than not, our reasons for not giving are marvels of sophistry. We give weird reasons like ' i don't have enough of it myself.. then how can i give it?'. If we think carefully. we will realize that we always have more than enough. Atleast enough to give away a part of it. If we think more carefully we will realize that our lives revolve around the act of giving. Why not make it our second nature rather than consciously thinking about the "receiving"? When we give without wondering whether we ourselves have enough or not, we are sending signals that we have plenty. And it is these signals that bring to us more of what we give... so it always makes sense to give away as much as we can and be thankful that we are in a position to do so.
It is unreasonable to doubt our ability or our capacity to give. Each one of us has something which many others don't have. We also have things that most others have. There is no dearth of things to give away. Name it and it can be given away. To someone who might need it more. To someone whose life might be changed forever. To someone for whom it might mean the difference between life and death.
Why don't we start giving? It really isn't all that hard... we just have to extend that hand, and it's done!
