Giving to Not Take Relationships

 
Written by Mathew Naismith


It's been awhile since I posted, this is simply to do with the sign of the times, also, I do go off grid, meaning, I get away from using a communicative device. I don't even own a mobile phone which allows me to really go off grid. This is going to occur more often in the future.


Giving to not take refers to people who give without expecting a return in what they give, in other words not expecting a return from what was given. The opposite is of expecting a greater return for services rendered. So many relationships and family structures today are based on a return, often a greater return for services rendered. Once an invested service no longer has a greater return or profit, the relationship often folds. This is the difference between a relationship and a partnership. In an actual relationship, both parties give to the relationship without expecting a return, especially a greater return. In a partnership, be it of marriage, family, friends, work colleagues, etc, the return of what is given is expected, even to the point of a greater return or profit, this also includes what is often falsely called a marriage relationships. It is no longer a relationship when expecting or demanding a payout or output, especially when the return is greater than the input.


Is society as a whole at this point of expecting a greater return than what they give, in fact expect a return in the absence of any input at all?


"Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country,"


This is a JFK, John F Kennedy, quote, a quote from the 35th president of the United States. This quote basically refers to what you can do for your country without expecting a return or profit from your investment. Once when we were all tribal, we gave a lot more to the tribe than you did to yourself, today, it would seem the human structure is based on quite the opposite, expect or demand what the country can do for you. Under this influence of this kind of social structure, relationships were going to end up being based on a return or profit structure. If you understand the influence the world is dominated by today, a greater return from investments influence, it is no wonder so many relationships are no longer of a true form of a relationship but a partnership.


The human social structure used to be based on what we as a tribe could do for your country/tribe, where we used to have a social structure based on relationships, not partnerships. As soon as the multinationals, who are only multinationals because of the greater return from investments, influenced and controlled human society to become more based on partnerships rather than relationships, the less and less we became givers thus base our own lives on a partnership of profiteering.


I see so many marriages today base their marriage on profiteering it is scary, but expected considering the influence we are all under today. The trick is being aware of this influence.


I see so many people into spiritual awareness that give without the thought of profiteering from this giving, I also see a lot of people who say they are spiritually aware who give only to profiteer from. My wife is a EMMETT therapist, similar to a Bowen therapist, my wife would not take money for services rendered if she did not have to, if she did not live in a reality purely based on a system on having to receive payment for services rendered. The thought of a taker not receiving payment for services rendered just does not occur, they have got to have a return no matter what. Many have no idea of others people thinking otherwise.


It is interesting how different of a reality people live by, base their whole lives on.
