Giving is Getting. Is this a cliche? The salvation army gives, the food shelter gives, Toys for Tots give. They give money, food and toys gathered during the season, but most of all they give us a chance to get over ourselves. The opportunity to give is a gift in itself, the opportunity to become something better. The other day a man approached me for some change to buy some gas. I gave him some money, grateful for the opportunity to have exercised some generosity. It was actually a little selfish on my part. I needed him to become a little bit better, a little bit kinder. It really is a paradox and a cliche at the same time.
