- True joy lies in giving, not receiving or taking.
- Receiving without giving is a selfish act.
- The joy of giving to others, be it friends, family, or people who are in need of help is unparalleled by another other joy.
- A verse in Bible shows Jesus saying, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”
- Giving is an act that arises out of kindness and benevolence.
- The joy that is thus received from it is one that is pure and will improve one’s overall mental health significantly.
- Even in the Hindu context, it can be seen that one must always give to others.
- The generosity of Karna can be cited for this.
- There is another verse from the Bible that beautifully brings out the joy of giving.
- It states, “Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
