Life Is About Giving. IV, Contributed by @Olawalium
...continued...
From all that we have discussed, it is a clear sign that giving is part of our existence. A very young and interesting guy: @tobah said and I quote:
This is the basics of life in general. The habit of giving can’t just be left out. It is so true givers never lack and developing a giving habit is like developing a living habit. We were given the air we breathe, the body we live in, the name we bear, and many basics things…
So much wisdom in there. Developing a giving habit is like developing a living habit, so the more we live, the more we give and the more we give, the more we have made it perfectly clear that we want to live.
There were so many amazing comments shared and I totally love every single one of them. You are all loaded and graced. Indeed, our exposure is our reality and we are all learning from each other.
Giving is essential. Giving is paramount. As we journey through life, giving is important. No one is poor enough not to have something to give.
We may not have the same starting point, but we all have something to start with. We have different abilities and blessings but at least we have something to give. Stop belittling what is in your hand and heart. It is not so much in the size of what was given but in the heart that gave it. What comes from the heart touches the heart.
You have something to give, stop holding back and stop saying it is not enough, because that “not enough,” you don’t know whose life would depend on it.
Giving is never easy and that is why it has to cost you something. If it doesn’t cost you something, then it is not really given. The motive has to be right. To whom much is given, much is expected. Everything we enjoy in life we were given, so it means the natural cause of things for this life is to also give.
We were given life. We were given love. We were given most of the things we have come to enjoy in life. We don’t have to deserve it to be given, and we don’t have to pay it back, because that is why it is called a gift: given.
When we try to pay it back, we will notice it can never be determined in terms of measure by measure because you received it when it meant something to you. When you give it back, you are giving back out of the much or comfort you now have. The scheduled time of giving it will always be important and it cannot be compared. When giving is timely, it is more valued.

I have been following this series since yesterday and I have had some time to think about it.
The habit of giving is something that probably develops over time. It is perhaps the people that differ and it might be possible that some might have a more giving nature than others. But I believe that all can find some level of equilibrium between their own needs and the needs of the others.
This equilibrium is not the same everybody and that perhaps amounts to different natures of some being more giving than other. Regardless it is a great quality to cultivate within oneself.
This why many are not given to giving, they want to accumulate the whole world so that they can give token out of it, giving is never like that, a true giving must cost you.
To whom much is given, more is expected
@olawalium your lines are beautiful. Your word are soul lifting. Two things amongst many you said are so inspiring;
1.No one is poor enough not to have something to give.
2.What comes from the heart touches the heart.
Thank you so much.
