Giving and Receiving

Yutang Lin

Possessions eventually turn into burdens;
Giving and receiving to convey intention.
Carefully matching necessity with utility
To circulate and develop full potentiality.

Comment:

Material possessions would eventually become a burden. Giving and receiving things mainly to convey intentions. Matching need and use in giving is up to the vision of the giver. Potentials may be developed; abundance and lacking may be exchanged. In giving and receiving thoughtfulness would be appropriate.
