We Must Give To Get (Tanka)

We must give to get
Give nothing and life is empty
An eternal truth
Give without expectation
And life will be abundant

      That it does, sadly too many of us prefer to get rather than give…seems like the American way.

    This is so true, as usual! It’s a law of the Universe, I believe!

    Giving without expectation is something that my dad taught me early in life. I love that he taught me that.

      That is very true RoSy, I believe that we should give from the heart without expectation of anything in return and inevitably good will come into our lives.
