The problem with giving

Can you ever give someone something without a single speck of the feeling that you will get something in return-

Or something of the same value will return to you someday…?


Can you give with the intention of never getting anything back?


And if you can’t,
Doesn’t that cancel out the idea of giving…?


Isn’t the act of giving selfless?


You remove yourself from gaining anything that exists or any positivity that comes from it…!

It can be a blessing that can come later,
or,
somewhere along the life,
but expecting immediate gains after giving back to society or nature is somewhat of a fools move…!

Isn’t that what we expect when we go during bad times to our G0d,
maybe a temple in our vicinity or even one in our home…!

We ask,
we demand instant relief from pains that hurt us,
and,
we try to bribe a superior being with what we have,
maybe,
it’s feeding a people or two,
or
putting a set amount in their donation box…!

The problem that makes us bribe our G0ds,
to relief our pain and sufferings…!

An all encompassing G0d,
that needs no material wealth,
neither needs food,
but,
look at what we do to please him…!

How you built us,
oh lord…!

Cheers 🥂

Love Waakiye 🤍
