Giving.
That's the secret.
To Give.
The pinnacle of human kind, the highest calling, the peak of our existence is giving. Giving of ourselves, our talent, our time, our tenacity. To give our resources, our money, our emotions, our passion, our love - to someone in need. It's the core of every major faith. It's the essence of what we teach our children. It's the best we can do or be.
The opposite of giving - isn't taking - it's receiving. Misunderstanding this is what has put the world off kilter today; the misguided idea that we need to take what we can get and keep what we take, for who will take care of me but me? This thought that there isn't enough to go around is a marketing ploy. The doctrine of scarcity is self fulfilling. If we all saw ourselves as givers instead of consumers, there would always be enough.
This isn't pie in the sky, or a pipe dream - it's how the universe works. Always giving. And receiving.
The secret of #twitterforfood is also the secret of life - realizing that being a giver is the most important trait one can have. If enough gain this realization, enough will actually be enough.
Simply,
Tim
