We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give. we have to work at it as well. What we put in benefits what we recieve if we do it to the best of our ability. Giving help to others means a lot to me as I like to see them smiling and happy through my efforts of giving help when needed. Are you of the same thoughts?

Interesting. It seems Einstein was thinking the same thing when he said "Not all the matters can be counted." It seems common sense will tell us that giving benefits only the recipient. The observer, on the other hand will suggest that we are instruments of giving and to really live is to have the ability to give freely including in the realm of what can not be counted e.g. our prayers and efforts in helping others ... It seems intended that the most important things in live will be invisible, intangible, uncountable ... What do you think?

Yes, sometimes we ask and lo and behold as if by magic our prayer is answered, maybe not straight away but when we least expect it. The universe has many wonders and we have to look for the right signs that are put before us.
