Exploring Life ArticlesThe Inner Joy of Giving
People who give to those who are in need have good hearts. Indeed, especially, those people giving anything that could help others are those who do not ask anything in return nor expect gratitude. Rather, appreciation from someone whom you have given a helping hand is enough. This could be the real joy of giving. Imagine this situation: an old man sitting down the sidewalk alongside him is a garbage bin full of trash, he is begging for a coin, then you drop one. All of a sudden, he did not like how much you have given him. There is a clear sign of not being appreciated for what you have done. Or, the situation could go like this: during a payday where Christmas bonus is being given, your boss gave out enough for each employee however no one thanked him for that. The boss got resentful and been wallowed by self-pity. Here, instead of stumbling , the boss could have asked why he did not gain any appreciation for what he did. In times like this, you would not perhaps enjoy what you've done or given to others, primarily because you expect gratitude. People tend to forget being grateful, and that is part of the human nature. So, if we go around expecting people to give thanks for things we do for them, that might just lead to heartaches and disappointment. Also, there are instances when people demand for gratitude. There are a lot of people who are ill from "ingratitude," loneliness and neglect. These people long for being loved but the only way they can get out of being lonely from it is through not asking for it. Just like in giving, when you generously give, do not expect people to be grateful for what you give. Do not ask for it. The essence of giving itself is already showing love and gaining respect from people. People want to find happiness. If we want to find it, let us stop thinking about gratitude or ungratefulness of others. We should just give for the inner joy we want to experience. Life is about peace and happiness. And one thing that could help us achieve an undisturbed and contented life is to give for the joy of giving. You can talk about...
