Should You Give It Away?
“Sometimes it’s hard to find the balance between pleasing yourself and pleasing others. Having been taught that sacrifice, frugality and self-denial are cornerstones of the good person – of a good, disciplined life – one can easily conclude that self-indulgence, extravagance and celebrating abundance are therefore the black sheep of human behaviour. How sad that you need to give something away to “feel good” about yourself when, in fact, you feel miserable. Though you’re told repeatedly that life is a struggle – it has to be this way for you to redeem yourself – this is not true. The Divine never intended human beings to struggle but to thrive. Thriving is living in abundance, surrounded by beauty and experiencing the wonders of life. Don’t give it away. If anything, share it and by all means please yourself first then the other.”
