Is the size and price of a gift an indication of the love of the giver ?

Tweet

This is a question often raised around certain seasonal celebrations such as christmas ,valentines ,anniversaries and birthdays.There are those who believe that it is and would prefer a sixty thousand dollars versus a card valued at two or three dollars.Their belief is that bigger is better and a car is bigger on two ground one price and two size There are those however who are more sentimental and believe size doesnt matter and its the thought that counts .Consequently they believe that buying a car is simply a matter of affordability and requires very little thought except in choosing a brand and colour which are pretty much predetermined.On the other hand a card may require more thought in determining what to write in it inorger to convey the correct sentiment The issue may not be divided along the lines of size ,price and sentiment as expressed above.There is a school of thought that its not how much you give but it is the percentage of how much you have that you give in the same way the widow of Jesus's day only gave a few coins to the collection plate but a higher percentage than the enormous amounts given by others.
