There is a very positive force that you get from giving: that is one of humility. But at the same time some people could go for some receiving from time to time.
I think this is a nice point where reality meets a lousy linguistic moral compass phrase that erodes at the intelligence of our fair nation.
First off. Society cannot give more than it receives. In face, by the nature of it, because they are essentially the same thing from two different perspectives, the amount of giving in society is perfectly equal to the amount of receiving.
Second off: From time to time... keeping things for yourself is really a good thing. Correct me if I'm wrong but I do believe this is the primary source by which society functions. People collect things, sometimes people collect happiness and that's a very subjective thing that leads to people giving. But all in all people do do things for themselves quite a bit, and that's a really good thing. It's healthy. Actually, the whole concept behind the idea "healthy" is doing things for ones self.
Can you imagine a society where everyone thought it was better to give than to receive. What a weird society. I think it would be boring. People wouldn't be healthy.
