A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
给
Giving
If men were basically evil, who would bother to improve the world instead of giving it up as a bad job at the outset?
如果人类本质上是邪恶的，那么谁还会费心去改善这个世界，而不是一开始就把它当作一份糟糕的工作而放弃呢?
Generosity is not giving me that which I need more than you do, but it is giving me that which you need more than I do.
慷慨不是给我比你更需要的东西，而是给我你比我更需要的东西。
We wish to be self-sustained. We do not quite forgive a giver. The hand that feeds us is in some danger of being bitten.

It is one of the beautiful compensations of this life that no one can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.

God answers sharp and sudden on some prayers, And thrusts the thing we have prayed for in our face, A gauntlet with a gift in it.

As accidental as my life may be, or as random humor is, which governs it, I know nothing, after all, so real or substantial as myself.
尽管我的生活可能是偶然的，或者随机的幽默支配着我的生活，但毕竟，我不知道有什么比我自己更真实、更充实。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
If nature has made you a giver, your hands are born open, and so it is in your heart. And though there maybe times when your hands are empty, your heart is always full, and you can give things out of that.
如果大自然让你成为一个施与者，你的手天生是张开的，你的心也是如此。虽然有时你的手是空的，但你的心总是满满的，你可以从中得到一些东西。
Think of giving not as a duty but as a privilege.
不要把给予看作是一种责任，而是一种特权。

送礼物是一种天赋;要知道一个人想要什么，知道何时以及如何得到它，要充满爱心地把它给予他人。除非一个角色拥有这种天赋，否则没有比接受和给予礼物更容易毁灭的时刻了。
