I was always taught that when you give someone a gift, that you must not look back in hope to recieve something in return...my mothers words were "learn to give than to recieve......how many of you give, with the hope you might recieve something in return?................

i do not but when i do give it makes me feel good but that is not why i do it i like to help others and i do like it when i do make others happy. and if they do not appreciated the all well i still helpped them anyway and that is just the way i am i like to help. I do not look for a thanks or anything in return bc you are not always going to get one.

its true in a way as its exchanging gifts rule. I gave you one now where is mine. But the other rule is that one should not give just so that they may recieve. It is part of the giving not the recieving.

When I expect to receive when I give, I will stop myself from giving. I will give only when I don't expect anything in return. Sometimes I give because I want to, other times because I have to and also because it makes me feel good to give. I do not give indiscriminately. I give to those who are in need or to whom I love.

I give all of myself to everyone, and nothing to myself. I think deep down I treat others how I wish to be treated. I do get upset when I don't receive atleast acknowledgment in return.
Foolish to give all to others, and none to myself.. I know.

they best way is to give and forget about it... if you are looking for some thing in return you are always going to be disappointed...

when i give, i oftentimes expect reciprocation. but if i don't get anything in return, i just accept the truth that there are lotsa cheap people out there.

honestly, I don't give to receive. I give because I actually care what people may think of me if I do not give. (superficial)..... interesting question....
