The Act of Giving


The manner of giving is worth more than the gift
~ Pierre Corneille.
Simply put, there is nothing given for free, that might sound as a shock but the real understanding beneath, is that, there is always at least a blessing attached to anyone who gives, even if it's for free, and by blessing, I mean, a favor or gift bestowed by God, at first it is returned immediately as an emotion, which can be happiness, gladness, peace, love etc. All these values, the creator has made to operate by default as blessings for anyone who gives.

The act of giving always bring two values;
1. An intangible value
2. A tangible value - which will later come in 100 fold return of the substance.

An intangible value is the first obvious fact after giving since because its emotion based but the latter is based on the principle of sowing - Sow a seed and reap a hundred fold of that seed.

The attribute of a giver, in an ideal situation is not to have the intention of receiving tangible values either from the receiver or from someone else but to consider how indeed giving can add an intangible value to his/her own life. It is quite amazing that there is already a misconception concerning giving and expecting something back in return, most people in such category believe a farmer who sows without expecting a return is out on a wild goose chase. 
Nevertheless, while the literal meaning hold water but on the issue of giving, it is incomplete until an intangible value is been witnessed by the giver.

Believe it or not, the universe will always conspire to add value back to the giver, its left to the giver to realize how he/she ought to go about the value being set by the universe.

However, one thing is true, for a 100 fold return of such substance, the intangible value generated must indeed produce at least one of the aforementioned blessings and that’s exactly what the bible meant by; "It’s more blessed to give than to receive"

In simple words, when you give something for free, you are already receiving something back. The emotions or feeling backed behind giving has a far reaching effect in the life of the receiver who is in dire need of that substance and that’s a proof of love.

Our happiness lies in the happiness of other people. Give them their happiness; you will get your own happiness. And this is the purpose of human life – the act of giving.

The Right Side of a Right Triangle and the Error of Your Judgments

"Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right" - Abraham Lincoln The perception of the Right side is definitely not talking about direction but it's a nonliteral expression of being on the Right side of something good and the Right Triangle obviously, is another name for Right angle Triangle. The illustration of the Right Triangle was borne out of curiosity, it was to understand a question, What if God's plan for my life was to move me from point A to point C but because of my free will to choose my direction all by myself and also because of some other factors I might have failed to consider, I found myself in position B. Why on the face of God's green earth should I say it was God who ordered my step to point B in the first place! ...If only I could differentiate how God ordered my steps there and the place of my own error, then probably, I'm on the right

Adding Value or Money: Which is more important?

Give every man more in use value than you take from him in cash value; then you are adding to the world by every business transaction. - Watter Wallace All monies are values but not all values are monies. To proof this fact, let’s consider this... Do you know that at the back of a British 10 pound note is written? "I promise to pay the bearer on demand the SUM of 10 pounds" I quickly checked the synonym of the word " sum " and there it was " value ", if I'll have to paraphrase it will be; "I promise to pay the bearer on demand the VALUE of 10 pounds" There you have it! What do you think? A misconstrue understanding of these two keywords - Value and Money, has affected some individuals such that they fail woefully under the test of conflict of interests. A wise man said to add value to anybody or anything find at least a need and try to meet this need with all Excellency . I was of the school of thought tha

The Mystique of Songs and its Parallel Purpose

"What you are hearing is creating what you are feeling and your personal happiness is influenced by the words that come out of your mouth" ~ Mike Murdock Can it be said that anything that operates in the realm of the intangible operates in the realm of the spirit? It's believed that everything that happens in our physical (tangible) world was first conceived in the spiritual (intangible), take for example, every invention started from an idea which is intangible in nature. Maybe, this saying is true after all; the spiritual births the physical. Recently, I've been fascinated by some stuffs and one of them is the word "Lullaby" , how come a soft music have a tremendous effect on a baby who doesn't even understand one plus one, I mean, how come such soft music soothes a baby, definitely, there must be some form of mystery behind such music. So, I decided to observe a lunatic man who is supposed to be in the psychiatric hospital but fo
