Now that it's Christmas Im hearing a lot about spirituality and giving. And hearing that when you give to people, "The universe" will give you back so much more.
Do you believe that?

If you feel good about giving or helping, then the increased mood will make you feel better, and then people are attracted to better / positive feelings, and will be more friendly towards you, etc...

hmmmm i guess so...

blonda80 · 12-04-2006, 03:03 PM

I am not sure about it but I like to offer but only to the poorest! And in my country this category is 90% I think...

BluewireAngie · 12-04-2006, 03:57 PM

I think yes.

E$_manager · 12-04-2006, 04:08 PM

I do. Sencerely.

I used to, but life makes it VERY hard to keep believing in it sometimes

BoyAlley · 12-04-2006, 04:36 PM

Isn't this the excuse that those Christian Evangelical preachers use on television all the time?

Send us $1,000 in the name of god, and god will reward you in return 10x?

Yes, pretty sure that's how I've heard them do it..........

if you stick to the 'clean living' philosophy, for the most part good will come back to you. being a shithead tends to bring trouble back to you. karma is a bitch that way. but to believe that giving and giving and giving is the path to salvation is a little bit stupid...

huey · 12-04-2006, 05:37 PM

I don't believe any of it. The best people I know and most giving have died the worst and untimely deaths.

notabook · 12-04-2006, 05:51 PM

lmao, no, of course not. It's all just happy-feeling-gushy-retarded bullshit that doesn't really exist, just like unicorns and leprechauns and "hard working" postal employees.

Rand · 12-04-2006, 06:20 PM

I think giving is inherinetly a good thing and I do believe that you benefit from that on many levels. But to go into it for that reason is wrong. Usually when I give something I do it anonymously unless there are other people involved in the giving.

shekinah · 12-04-2006, 06:47 PM

It could be, for sure

OMFG! I sometimes watch Daystar for laughs and that fat old preacher goes on about how he was broke and had nothing and was desperate, then he scraped together everything he had and wrote a check to his church for $200 and things started happening for him.

It was disgusting, telling people who have nothing to struggle more and give money to him. While he's wearing a $5k suit and probably $10k in jewelry on his fat fingers.

reynold · 12-05-2006, 08:29 AM

My Santa Clause keeps reminding me of that every year. Yes, it's absolutely true.

JayDeeZee · 12-05-2006, 08:33 AM

I firmly believe that it's true.

I also believe that if you cut corners, lie, cheat, steal and generally shit on the world. The world will shit back on you.

Jakke PNG · 12-05-2006, 08:33 AM

No. I give and I give, and I get fucked up by everyone in the end.
So Karma is bullshit.. doesn't mean I'll stop giving though. There's better reasons to help people than to expect the same from others.

wyldblyss · 12-05-2006, 08:37 AM

I'm not really sure. I do good things for others because I just feel that is the way I should lead my life and I want to set an example for my children.

No good dead goes unpunished though and I sometimes wonder if giving brings bad luck lol

StuartD · 12-05-2006, 09:33 AM

No, I don't.

Think about it, you're talking about the law of averages. That everything'll just balance to a nice little middle ground point.

Well, that's all well and good when you have say, 10 items to average. But you're also talking about all of existance and time and space... infinity.

To average that, well... let's just say that our tiny meager existant individually is pretty insignificant.

Therefore, if there truly is a "what goes around, comes around" constant in the universe, then that 0.000000000000000001% spec of goodness you just unleashed into existance may take a billion years to come full circle... give or take.

You likely won't be around to see it.

wil_I_Am · 12-05-2006, 09:51 AM

20/20 did a special on giving, and they said that the same chemical that is produced when you receive a gift is also created when you give something to others.... but in higher quantities.

If you do good to other people, they tend to be good to you as well.
