      Giving to others

      I’m never fully satisfied because my ego keeps pushing me to chase more pleasure. Pleasure feels real only when it meets a need, but once that need is met, the pleasure fades and I start wanting something new. True, lasting satisfaction comes from growing beyond myself and finding joy in giving to others, which brings a deeper, endless kind of happiness.

      We must receive in order to bestow.

      Only if we can receive in order to bestow upon the giver.

      We have to change an intention from receiving for ourselves in order to bestow, then pleasure will not cancel desire, pleasure will flow freely.

      You can’t. Not as long as you are receiving for yourself. You have to receive with the intention to bestow.
