Giving is a very important thing to do. Giving can be sometimes even more fun that receiving something. Christmas was recently and giving is a huge part of the holiday season. People say that Christmas is not about receiving, but is all about giving. I actually really enjoy giving gifts. Gift giving is fun for me because if I know that they are really going to like it, I get excited to see their reaction. I look for a long time to find a gift that I think that they will enjoy, and it is very rewarding when they like it as much as I had hoped that they would. Giving is not all about gifts however. Giving can be all kind of things. You can give love to people. Your can also give your appreciation for people. Giving appreciation for people plays a huge role in building relationships with people. People enjoy being complimented and praised, and when you do so, they tend to like you. If you think about it, most likely you will realize that many of the relationships in your life have started from some sort of giving. Giving is a trait that people look for in a person. When you describe the type of person that you would like to either be friends with, or to date of marry, a common trait is often giving. No one wants to be with a selfish person. Selfish people are often perceived as rude or mean. No one wants to be rude or mean! Giving is a trait that if we do not have we should look into developing if we do not have. We should all be giving people because that would make the world a better place to live in and it could solve a lot of the power problems in the world today. People get greedy with power instead of giving the choice to the people as our country should be, and it causes problems.
