Give Me What I Cannot Hold

The less one has the less one feels they have to give. So why is it the more one acquires the more selfish they can become? Is it the feeling that you have that much more to lose so you must hold on to it all a little tighter? Technically speaking if you 'have' more then don't you simply have more to give? Maybe we are asking to receive the wrong things. Maybe we are forgetting how much you can give without using your hands. Give your time. Share your knowledge. Be there for someone when they need. Give a smile. Share who you are; we all have that to give. I never asked for your things. So when did giving directly relate in proportion to possessions? My mind has been refreshed through many experiences in which it seemed the heart could not give enough from the person it belonged. Someone who perhaps had very little in possession and on the scale of things therefore little to give. I have been given so much help in such a genuine way that all I can ever do is stand in awe. One mentality seems to say "I only have this, but I have it to share." The other states "I have all this, these things are mine." Where is the balance between these two ends? The first direction is awareness; something I have acquired during my time here. The next direction I guess is feeling for your own answers. Maybe then it is your duty to live out these answers. This is just the feeling I have. The feeling that is comprised greatly from the care I have for the people I have learnt so much from that I will make a difference starting in myself.
