A smile, opening the door for someone, letting someone in front of you in traffic, etc. You never know how a simple kind gesture can affect another person! Thanks- Kim Hi Brian,

Let's not forget though that some may give with the wrong motive e.g. a doctor sees a poor man hungry and he doesn't want to give the man anything but then he sees one of his patients watching and he decides to give the man money so he won't look bad in his patient's sight....That's what I meant by giving vs living....The way I live will influence the way I give!

It doesnt have to be materialistic stuff. It would mean helping others unselfishly. A poor woman/man is hungry, you can share your meal. Or help in any other means like doing service in helping out in the local charity as a volunteer. What you will get back is immense satisfaction in the thought that you were able to help. Hi Brian,

Thanks for your comment. I agree that your giving will come back in the blogging world. What I really meant is that if you give lots of money to charity etc that does not necessarily mean you are a generous person. You can be giving for your own recognition etc. The way you live is more important than anything you may give e.g. money. If I am a person who doesn't have integrity, loyalty etc. but I do good just so I can manipulate people, sooner or later I will be found out to be a fake!!! Hi Mike. Thanks for your comment.

What I have found in the social media / blogging world is that giving really does come back, sometimes manyfold.

Greetings from rural Australia.

This is a very insightful post.

Your comparison between Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is astute. Especially if a reader recognises themselves in that description and it motivates them to make some changes to the way they live.

I wonder how many people fully realise that it’s how we live our daily life that makes the biggest impact on those around us? Many thanks for pointing this out.

Take care,
