Everyone has some questions unanswered, some tasks unfinished, some goals unaccomplished and some desires unfulfilled.
Life has a different meaning for each one of us and yet we are snared by a single purpose that pervades us all; the purpose of getting. All the focus is on getting, getting something or the other. It is the sole purpose of getting for which we seek favor, coordination or assistance either from society or from the higher source of power known as god.
‘Giving after getting’ has become a common notion for a majority of us. However, the results can be more fruitful if we ever so slightly reverse the above statement.
The first thought on this would definitely bring resentment as one may ask how we can give something which we don’t have or when we have very little which can be of no significance to others? That’s quite logical as well! But the proof can only be attained through personal experience.
We go to gymnasiums to gain strength, engage in outdoor games to gain stamina, we do aerobics or stretching exercises to increase our flexibility. All these objectives are reached only by giving away the strength we already possess, that’s why we feel exhausted after our day of exercising. The more strength we give, the more we get.
Similarly, we gain more knowledge by giving or applying it to the object of our purpose, otherwise the knowledge unused departs from the mind.
Money is a medium of exchange and money if invested properly can bring more money with it. That’s why all the major businesses have the best leaders who are quite familiar with the discipline of investing. For people without money can give valuable services in exchange for it.
So, it’s always 'getting after giving', but what’s more important is the background with which we give:)
