Life is all about giving, it is an honourable thing to do, a duty for all of us, life itself is a gift given and at the end of every life is a giving up of whatever the soul has acquired. Regardless of the kind of life that soul chose to live, wether good or bad, successful or not, rich, famous and fulfilled or poor, you shall give away all you have.
Most human beings find it very difficult to give freely and willingly for whatever reason best known to them, some others give only when they are asked while just a few give cheerfully, willingly and happily.
We have the opportunity to choose where we wish to belong among the above listed group of people only when we are alive, but what do you do when you die? Do you have any other choice but one? At death, we cannot hide from giving away all that we have, you only have the chance to decide how you want to give it, through makinh a will, maybe by giving to charity, your children, or to some unknown persons, some give forcefully to the government or to the bank. Wether you like it or not you will not take it with you to the grave, so if you don't want to GIVE you will leave it behind.
All you have you shall give away or leave behind, this is a sad truth and a bitter reality. When this truth became an apparent and well understood fact to me, it brought about a brighter and crystal clear vista of veiwing this whole thing called life. Luckily for me I am less of a materialist, I give out even more than I receive so this feels to me like a confirmation of my philosophy about giving as the right path, even though people close to me such as family and friends think I am doing something worthless that will not get me rich and fear my financial and economic sustainability, they expect me to save lots of money, invest in lots of businesses an be more conceded about myself alone and probably a few people close to me, but I see life differently. Since I was a child I always love to give and now that I know better about giving or forcefully leaving behind all you have at death, I feel more inspired and motivated to give. I see myself more as a connecting instrument or a passage through which goodness of life reach the whole world, and not a reservoir that gathers all the goodness of life and stores it.
Not everytime I have money or material things to give but I didn't let that stop me from giving. Most time I give my time, my support, my heart, listening ear, my skills through training whoever wants to learn what i know, and I do not make money a barrier, I just give out the knowledge free of charge. This is also the reason I find myself writing, so that I can give my knowledge out to you reading this article. I hope you gain something tangible from this.
Give. Give. Give. It's a great feeling. It's an honourable thing to do. If you don't give now, you won't take anything along when you die, and you do not know when you will die. So give now, the best way you can and be happy about it or else death will someday force you to leave everything behind. So, wether you give by yourself or you leave it forcefully when you die, the end result of life is GIVING.
