Giving is a gift for the giver. There is an intrinsic benefit in the pure act of giving. Unconditional giving makes us feel generous and abundant. These intangible rewards are far greater than any transactional exchange. If we lament a lack of acknowledgment or gratitude for our generosity, it’s simply an indication that we haven’t given freely. Real giving only happens when we do it without expectation of recompense or recognition. Genuine giving is easy when we remember that both giving and receiving are…

The same thing.
