“We are rich only through what we give, and poor only through what we refuse.” Anne-Sophie Swetchine [digg=http://digg.com/music/We_are_rich_only_through_what_we_give/blog]
Its always tough to keep giving…. well its also very tough to keep living…. when I found this quote in my mail box today, first it was little tough for me to understand it. I think I used to believe that we are rich through what we get .. or rather I am used to it.
Well I though I should be rich enough to start giving something. But now someone is telling me that you become rich through giving …. I am confused……
Now I started thinking in a random way. Why am I living ? what I am living for ? being rich ? well no, coz I am sure I will think of getting something bigger all the time. I cant be richest or richer. Should be for something else.. more valuable. I cant repeat any of well knows quotes for a “”show off: ” coz I am answering myself.
It should be something everyone is running behind….. being happy I guess in simple terms. Again, are you happy when you give something ? I am not happy most of them time.
Then that “something” is the question. What is the “something” , by giving which you are more and more happy and you feel like living a life……… well you guessed it .. you are right my friend !!!!

You are begining a new way of life . The road is not always easy but the rewards are great . Giving of yourself , of your time, of your talents to help those in need. Or be a friend , that is a great gift to all and yes sometimes hard but soon you will see your own inner beauty that your words speak of and your pictures .
The journey is what counts not the distination .
Thanks for poping in to my site …

Nice quote…the way i perceived the quote is that, may be its not necessarily talking about materialistic wealth…of course the materialistic wealth may increase when u get more but when you GIVE…we become rich morally and internally…isn’t the satisfaction we aquire when we give, be the richest gift of all!!
