Each one has something unique to give.

In response to post http://between-ellipsis.blogspot.com/2008/05/give.html

The above mentioned post states that we need not give something specific to people/society, we can give a smile, some time, hope etc. and that making others happy is what makes us truly happy.

I do agree that making others happy makes us happy.
It applies more when others are strangers rather than our near and dear ones.

But everyone is not happy doing the same kind of giving. Nor can everyone give in the same way.

Can desert give us water, even if it really wants to? Can a river give people heat in a cold night if it wants to?

But river can give water, and it can give it very well, and that is the only thing which will truly make it happy.

In the same way, each one of us has a unique thing to give, and we will be truly happy only when we recognize and give that.
