this is my first message in ebaby .i just think this topic "give and obtain"

before obtain is giving,but doesn't meen if you give you will obtain.

perhaps i give a lot of to the others ,but obtain from them .don't care it .it is living.

we can be friends .

u don't have to think this way jennifer j…if you give only to receive, u will be in the bad way. u have to give just to be good. that's the real idea !

sorry ,there is a mistake for my talk ,i am just want to show an thought about life.

don't you heard that study hard and you will be super student.and another example ,you love a person,do a lot for him or her,but she or he does not love you .

in chinese there is a word 舍得,somebody thought it means that give then you will gain.here i want to show the exact mean ,gain after giving but giveing doesn't  means you will gain from this giving.

don't complain why i pay out so much ,but gain nothing.

__hope i expound my point of view without mistake this time._

I agree with you.Give doesn't mean obtain.Usually we will gain joyness from give.
