Giving and expecting nothing in return

This would indeed be the ideal mannerism with which one should offer help or give present or in any way shape,way or form assist. However sadly this is not really the reality of the matter. I would classify it into 3 fundamentals.

The first would constitute people who give and 'expect nothing in return'.Or so they want people to believe that. Trust me, if they do give something to u, in the not too distant future they would expect u to do the same. Basically they would be cunning and assure u they did something for u but if ever they require assistance would definitely remind u of the times they assisted u.

The second would do it basically to seem generous in the eyes of the public. It is normally unspoken.They would expect u to tell anyone that they did indeed help and so their stature in society would improve . I mean it is giving and that has its benefits but doing it properly would also be in order. There is also the type where they do good to have good karma. In my opinion that is not the essence of how it should be.

The last and the type which should be the way is the kind where they give selflessly. They would not consider anything except the reciepient's well being I should say. This is the kind we must be striving for .Giving because we want to help and because we care is worth giving if not dont bother. Trust me try giving more in the third type and the bliss u obtain is immense.
