The Giver



I like to give.
...

But do I like giving?

I don't like being selfish.  I don't like having sin.
I give because I feel good.  I feel good when I give.
If I didn't feel good about giving, would I still give?

Do I give just to give?
Or just to feel good?
Am I being selfish when I give?
To every person I could?

Do I give for the Karma, to benefit me?
Do I give for the reputation, of a nice personality?
Do I give for my friends, to think me so swell?
Do I give for religion, to stay out of hell?

I think that I do.
That's a yes, yes, and yes.
I have many reasons for giving.
Much more than you.

Now when I think about giving,
I've stopped listing the reasons
I just know I like giving

...
I like to give
