What do you prefer, to give or to receive?

I think giving is an imp and healthy way of bringn ppl closer to each other...coz the more u "give love" to the person..the more u receive...Once you start giving...u feel so satisfied that u r doin sumthn for ur sumn...and tat feeling is really grt to experience!!!

It depends on what exactly you're referring to. In relationships I think give and take should be equal between two people. One shouldn't give more than the other just as one shouldn't receive more than the other. Giving and receiving derives happiness if it is from the heart. I wouldn't pick one over the other to keep things balanced.

A nice subject for discussion. It is far better to give first and receive later.However if somebody is first, He/she HAS TAKEN THE LEAD AND MUST BE APPRECIATED AND IT IS THE ESSENCE OF FRIENDSHIP. How beautiful it is that you have love for some one whom you have never seen and ofcourse if you try to help in solving the problem of such person without expecting reward or thanks, then it is the apex of humanity.

i always liked to give but receiving is nice too. i do not get much anymore as my husband and i do not exchange because we cannot afford it and it all goes to my son and i would have it no other way. my dad who is on a fixed income only buys for the grandchildren now which is completely understandable and the only person i get a gift from on my bday and xmas is my mom. if i made more money i would give more but things are tight these days for us.

Generally, I am not comfortable if I am to receive, but it is also not nice to reject something that is given to us sincerely as if we do not appreciate the giver. If I am given a choice, I prefer to give than to receive because it means that I am not in trouble. Sometimes there are times when I am in dire need of help, I feel blessed and happy when there is a person who is willing to give. In a relationship, I agree with some of the users saying that a give and take in a relationship must be of equal. It's one of the important things that both persons must realize in maintaining a harmonious relationship.

Well, i personally like to give more, i am a very generous person. Don't get me wrong i also love to reviece xD Happy mylotting The one

its better to give, than to receive... that's what i always hear when i was still a kid and up to present... giving/sharing always brings a nice and wonderful feeling, specially when you know that you have helped & make other people happy... and this is also something that i keep on my mind. so to the best that i can, i will give and not expect to receive anything, coz i know that if i don't receive any from that person, God will be there to provide it for me and use some other people/instruments to bring back the blessings on me. with regards to couples or in a relationship, give & take relationship would be great. but again, for me, i will choose to be a giver and i will be happy doing that without any expectations. but i will also be happy if he will appreciate all the things that i am doing for him... and i think, all the things that you have done/given to your partner will pay off... and give a positive result in the relationship...just don't give too much, coz you might be taken for granted in the future and anything that's too much may harm us... good day & welcome to mylot!

For me is to give is more important but sometimes I want that to receive yes gave and take is the big part of life being because we are now in the society of many problems.

Hi jaz2009,Welcome to mylot! Well, for me It' better to give than to recieve.If you give, do it with all your heart and don't expect in return.Be happy in doing such a good thing because it is God's will.But the reality is when you give you usually recieve because the person who you've given will think also to give back to you.Thanks,Happy mylotting!

If people want to build a strong and long relastionship, to give or to receive should be equal on the whole. As you have said above, to give is something that is so glorious. We will feel happy too when we see that our friends receiving something with happiness. Of course, receiving something means that there are some people who pay some attention to us, which is important in a steady relationship. Of course, I prefer to give other than receiving.

Giving is great. In every religion it is given the first priority. The tendency of giving makes someone generous and kind. I prefer giving, though i have very limited capacity. Giving does not mean to offer money or a gift always, i think. Even you smile at someone, that also comes under giving. A smile is the cheapest thing you can offer everybody in the world and with this you can get the most costliest thing of this world, mental happiness. Have a great day.

I prefer both to give and to receive, to give because charity comes from home, receiving because that's the time you attain something or get rewarded for the good things you have done for someone.

I love to give. I think too many people are into receiving or "getting" that they forget the fulfillment in giving to others. Maybe if people were more giving, we wouldn't have so many problems in this world!
