I feel best giving to others that are less fortunate!
I've always felt a greater joy in giving than receiving. Everytime I would see a smile, tear or hear a scream or laughter of excitement and joy always makes me feel better than getting anything. When your less fortunate people who are well off don't understand what it's like to be in that position. I however do. I grew up poor in Mexico 🇲🇽 and my family struggled to get to the United States. Once here (Los Angeles 1st now Phoenix, AZ) it was difficult understanding a different language and unfortunately kids were mean at those times and would tease me but I wouldn't understand. When I did it hurt me but it made into the person that I am today. So anytime someone asks me for a dollar on the street for some food. I'll tell them wait right there come back about 30 minutes later with a $100 VISA giftcard and a Large Pizza. The smile and them thanking me is worth more than the time effort or money I used to get them just what they needed. Food and hope that they can get out of their troubles no matter how hard times can be. That to me IS PRICELESS! I am very thankful for being where I am today. Even as a teenager I was a problem child and as a young adult I spent all that time in Prison. I spent 13 years in so basically all my 20's and the early part of my 30's. now almost 40 I have everything I can possibly dream of and more! Not bad for an ex convict coming from an unfortunate part of the world with no money.

bidfern72 : Yes, Indeed!! Thanks for sharing your story! If you can make someone smile, it Really Is Priceless!! And it doesn't cost much. "WARNING!!!" Smiles are Extremely Contagious. If you don't believe me, just try it!!
