About This Quote
This quote is often used when someone doesn’t get what they desire. They are upset because they didn’t get the desired outcome. This shows the difference in giving and receiving. If one gives without expecting something in return, then the giver will become rather unhappy.
Yet another person who has not received what she desires will be equally upset. There is nothing to be done about this, but to learn to balance the scales by receiving more than giving.
