It is natural that every one of us wants to be happy. We use our resources to get things from the world, to gratify ourselves, so we can be happy. But does it always work. Is it the best that we can do to make ourselves happy. Most of us would say Yes. But surprisingly (and not so surprisingly) Most of us have sacrificed our own personal gratification and passed on that benefit to another. Although it stings at the moment of sacrifice, when we see the other person’s face lit up with joy, we somehow feel a sense of happiness, we never got with mere self-gratification.
I do not want to go into the dynamics of why this is so. But everyone of us have experienced it. The joy of Giving with no-strings-attached. Watch this beautiful video that shows a story of a little boy. A great giver.
