I recently had the most profound experience of giving.
Have you ever freely given someone a gift where it was painful for you to give? If your pain is concealed from the other person, there is an amazingly FULL experience where you get to see their very innocent enjoyment of the gift they received and you have the internal knowledge of the pain it took for you to give it to them.
I have a new appreciation for the love my parents must have felt for me at times when they freely gave up their comfort in order for me to bask in an innocent enjoyment of a gift received.
Giving like this is an ultimate experience. Try it. The very best feeling - love - comes with the hurt of the giving.
And look for this act of giving. There are people all around us giving concealed gifts.
