Gather - Not give :)

I recently read in a famous self help book that I should find happiness...and the examples are like paying toll for the person right behind me...just to make their day...I dont know why that would bring me happiness...people always claim that life is about giving and sacrifies...but wola!!!...i just dont agree...

what have you given so far in life ????

Money to charity -- reason : you have a sense of satisfaction that some one else is happy - beneficiary - YOU
Helping hand -- that someone would be in need and you are sure about that...Frequency -- once in a while ---satisfaction --beneficiary - YOU
Charity - many pay anonymously-- but do ensure that the money is portrayed in one way or other for their own benefits...beneficiary - YOU

Ask me --- I have never given away anything in life...

"Rather than giving away something which obviously doesnot belong to you...cant we just gather something which might be tough on others"
