If you start to give of yourself, be it ever so simple a fashion, the world will observe your spirit and show you many needs that you can supply. There are a hundred ways of giving away little margins of time you will never miss, which could be riches to someone.

Or was it to relieve the one aggrieved of the destructive burden that resentment and anger lay upon us?
