The Honor of Giving and Receiving

honor is a relative term
that is best determined
by each individual personally

i think that it is truly better
to give than to receive
since in giving doors may open
where as in taking
doors will certainly shut
but this too is relative
consider what Donald Trump gives
and all the doors that are open to him
and what Christ gave
and all the doors that were closed to him

there is a big difference between
giving on a material level
and giving on a spiritual level
for although giving on a material level
doors will certainly open
those who give and those who receive
may remain quite closed and shut down
whereas giving on a spiritual level
doors will often close
but those who give and those who receive
remain quite open and connected
vulnerable and intimate
