Benny BellamacinaGiving is the only way of taking part
About This Quote
When you give, you are partaking in the gift. It is not taking part; it is participating. The difference is important because we tend to think of taking part as something we do to others and giving as something we do for others. But giving and taking part go together and they require each other to achieve great results.
If someone gives me something and I can enjoy it without feeling like I’m taking part, then I will feel good about that gift. Being a giver, however, is not just about giving things away; it’s also about receiving things as well as giving them away.
