the breed’s on the decline. rapidly. i speak of the ones that can give with the slightest hint of ‘need’ or ‘want’, the ones that can give without expectations, and the ones that thrive on ‘giving’.
i speak of simpler stuff that our everydays are made of.
smile, a kind word, a thoughtful gesture, a moment to stop and enquire.
i speak more of the art of giving without being asked.
someone tells me it’s a sign of weakness – to show that you care, that you are capable of giving and that stopping to do so only reveals a vulnerable side.
then again, have you noticed how when one does ‘give’ – literally, palm over palm, just because we are a visual clan and visual cues almost always helps light those ways; the act of giving always hints of a larger heart, person, character?
so u mean to say that breed in endangered?? well its been long extinct..its record exist only in literature..free
extinct eh? I donno, I still hold hope I guess 🙂
I think that those who can receive gracefully are also in decline. It’s hard for me to accept anything without feeling put on the spot. It’s a shame how with all of the possibilities of communication, we still can’t connect.
You know Heather, that’s a valid point, but from what I see, I see more takers than givers and the takers are quite prim about it. Not gracious, but overtly prim..
I am the giver and the destroyer!
ok that line may not make that much sense, but it is a kickass line!
lol, Rajini saar dialog eh? :p
I so agree! I wish it was not so difficult to come by..
