Wayward thoughts of the nature of giving

As with every wonder of this world, one small trigger was indeed enough to have greatness set in motion. A desire for freedom of religion has built a great nation that is the United States. A desire for protection built the Great Wall of China. A will for peace has erected the Nobel Prize. A solemn hope for being heard has made all the great literature within the pages of history. A small thought of sharing emotions has made all the music in the world. A love unquenchable moved God to create.

Now, not everything leads to greatness that echoes throughout history, but all action does bring forth consequences. Naturally, goodwill has a better chance of ending in positivity. A complement can push a man to do more than he once thought. An encouragement can keep a woman fighting on through all hardship. A gift can surely leave a mark in everyone’s heart.

Focusing on the aspects of gifts a little more, such is the character of a gift. It has the potential to move people to make strides of achievement. A gift of special occasion thus can have even more meaning melted within. A birthday gift can share the gratitude of one’s presence in the world. A gift of graduation can hold meaning of invigoration into what is held in the future. A gift of travels can become a window to a whole new world.

Say a beautiful lady decides to travel, perhaps to Taiwan, Paris, Rome, or wherever. Amazing experiences she treasures will be limited by human nature that is individuality. The thoughts and feelings have so little freedom in expression by simple words. However, by a token of her voyage, enough will be said as the gift will serve as an incarnation of all the experiences that has made her grow further in her life. A gift gotten from the oriental culture of Taiwan may conjure up the similarities within countries of Asia, enticing the hope of unification of people. A gift from the city of love that is Paris may just be enough to lead one to true love. A gift from Rome, a city that is history itself, may conceivably have oneself thinking about the meaning of life and the impact of human history.

Whatever message a gift may bring, the important fact is that it has potential. It is the same marvel that is found in the creation of life; say a birth of a baby. A gift can be a motivation, a key, to a world that has not yet been opened for the eager at heart. Ambitions can be found. Passions can be awoken. All that has been imagined just might become reality.

Although much has been said, a gift is the simple reality that people exist in love. Nature of communication, an act of giving, has been instilled in us as a reflection of God. Thus, gift becomes love, and love will always be.
