There are two components to life that are very important. One is cultivating a sense of contentment and satisfaction with what we have and the other is cultivating delight in giving. These two go very much together.

When we are on the receiving end, we should try to really be contented with what we receive and develop a sense of gratitude towards those making offerings to us instead of a mind that is dissatisfied and wants more or better.

When we give, we should give not out of obligation or responsibility, but with a true sense of delight in sharing what we have. If we live together with others, let us always keep both contentment and generosity in mind.
