  1. I love giving money and sharing what I got with everyone, I've given tens of thousands in food gas entertainment and filled up gas tanks but I stopped because these people don't even say thank you and hide when they get money, how is that fair to me? I'm never petty or stingy I love being able to give if I was rich id give cars and houses but these so call friends won't even give me a dollar. I do favor after favor and don't want nothing but at least a thank you. I'm done because I've learned that people are so ungrateful. I don't deserve this. So I'm done for good reason. People will burrows tools and get offended when I ask for them back so I let them keep it I do as much as I can and get disrespected. I'm done.

  2. This Talk addresses one of the greatest losses seen due to current. We have been forced to avoid physical contact, shared projects until Zoom came into play. Now societies are learning new ways to exchange new experiences, together. Humanity is demonstrating the need to exchange, giving and receiving, multiple currencies, both financial snd emotional. This means we need to get in touch with our own emotions and how we express them in a productive and pleasurable manner. “Works well with others, plays well with others” “collaborates” “participates” “coordinates” “communicated” are showing up, along with those of “isolated” “introverted” “alone” “retreated” may be a counter-balance, these behaviors again cause the need to interchange acts of receiving with those of giving. And the dance ? continues. Namaste ?

  3. Love your positivity and message to restore the faith in humanity. When we focus on helping others, we take the focus off of our own self and to understand that others are struggling with more than we are. We can impact others and connect in a human way of giving.

  4. Canada, USA and some other countries. This is your fault and this is your guilt that we have that problem with refugees all around the word. You behaving and you politics did this with the many countries on the planet.

  5. really kindness and generosity work out and I hope with watching this video people around the world put it as their priority to help each other and make the world a better place to live

  6. Hello, I am speaking from Nepal. By profession, I am a health worker. When I want to live online in Nepal from Nepal and use my GB to earn money, is it possible? Please let me know if there is any web site.

  7. This is very mixed. Not only does it matter how we do it, but matters whether what we're trying to help is willing and able.

    Need an example? Look at Afghanistan, African communities and nations, etc. Received so much aid, but later on turned back into square one.

    Same can be applied in our society. There are addicts that are in constant need of help and wanting to get better. And there are those that take advantage of the aid presented to them.

    So in conclusion, it really depends whom you're helping in question.

  8. Helping others makes us happy. But you gotta ask yourself if your desire to help another is destroying someone because you are being overbearing!

  9. yeah if u earn enough giving has some effect on mood
    especially when u work at times have alittle left over & give to some is nice feeling

    i feel like helpin my bros in future with alot more money 2 with social anxieties at home id help them get licenses & some confidence workers put into them in future once my work is done
    but i definitly wana use money i dont need to give at times

    i also wana do research for things like arthitis & few other things i think putting ur own money into findin something then givin it to charity has had waaay to much money given but no cures billions given to cancer over some time nothing still
    just myself if i did find it
    bugs me daily
    but some nice things i'l do in future
    feels nice giving tho

    some talent out there homeless i seen a homeless guy painting looked pretty good for a homeless guy doin it & music voice & instruments i think would b nice to help some not heaps just a opportunity maybe for a normal job to start with or supply cheap house for few talented to stay in
    with a budget of course & tolerance if i were to help some

    anyways i think id b quite nice at times & has some effect on mood for sure
