weyes Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 giving and receiving gifts are two of the finer things in life. they're also quite simple acts, when people let them be. unfortunately, a lot of people find themselves complicating this exchange, making it anywhere from unpleasant to hurtful.something to remember when receiving a gift: a gift should not be expected in return, if one is given in the right spirit. if one is expected in return, then something is wrong with the entire situation or relationship, and the problem is deeper than this particular act of gift-giving; the receiver should therefore not be upset about not having a gift to give and should focus on working on the actual issues at hand. in turn, if a gift is given in the right spirit, with no strings attached and with no ulterior motives, the receiver should let go and allow him/herself to truly enjoy it without any feelings of guilt whatsoever .something to remember when giving a gift: as explained above, one's motive for giving a gift should be nothing more than to give. if a gift is expected in return or if the gift is given to gain feelings of acceptance/obligation/affection or any other emotion, one should reconsider why one feels that giving an object is the way to obtain these goals; this is NOT the proper way to win someone over.tune in tomorrow.
