What separates the two? How do you know if you’re a taker or a giver?

Yes, I think you know too, but I still wonder. I like to think I’m a giver, but to someone else, I may be a rude, obnoxious thief! At least, I hope not! Ha, ha.

😂 oh Brian – I don’t think so. But you may be right! Some may think I’m outspoken, opinionated and rude! I guess the real question here is: do we really care what they think 😁

Exactly… Perhaps there is no god and this is just how life is. Things are given and taken away…. Perhaps this is already a hell? Very interesting topic! Thank you 😊

Hey I think I have found what you were talking about – the phrase: “There are two kinds of people in the world…” Many, many of us have used that line to start the statement – it’s what lies after this clarification that holds the originality from what I can see. The typical saying is the takers and the givers but is linked to the eating and sleeping saying. The world is full of takers and givers, I just had a slightly different definition of what I think is taken or given! 🙂 Not sure this will make sense to you but in my head it worked out! Lol 🙂 Didn’t have a chance to hunt down the “How I met your Mother” episode – although I love them all, I just don’t have the time! 😉 I googled the saying instead and I couldn’t find my turn of phrase as it is….fingers crossed! 🙂

Haha..Well, definitely it made sense to me and I really appreciate the effort you made for reaching out to the depth. I actually refreshed my memory and I found that it’s the “Reacher and the Settler theory”(ooopps..!!). So, sorry for bothering you with incorrect information but I really like what you write.
You won! :p

Don’t let it distract you or eat you up – but yes, it just is that way…acceptance of things we can’t change gives us the freedom to move forward and experience more – which is why I think we’re all here in the first place 🙂 Fill up your soul 🙂 Peace, love and light to you!

Oh that is awesome jdawg! Yessss, this is the lesson I’m learning, receiving help and asking for it – it’s a humbling experience when one has always been the fixer, helper, giver! But a lesson to be learned 🙂
