Is giving advice giving?
Or is it a one-upmanship?
Is giving a beggar giving?
Or is it enabling?
Is giving a kiss giving?
Or is it a betrayal?
These are questions I’m asking myself. What is my intent when I give of myself? Is it helpful, needed, wanted? Or does it just make me feel good about myself?
Today’s random thoughts given and asked randomly. Please feel free to comment!

I’m of the opinion that there are no completely altruistic actions, except in parenthood.

One can even say not so in parenthood… what about parents that live vicariously through their kids? 😉

Yeah… I thought about that. I think it’s the MOST possible with parents to kids.

Giving should be two fold.. good for you and the person receiving.. That’s not selfish..

These are really good questions! Am I giving a dollar to the man begging with the cardboard sign to make his life better? Or to make me feel better about my own life? Very tough questions indeed!
