Giving without love is empty from "summary" of The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran
Your giving should be a reflection of your love, for if you give without love, what is your generosity but an impoverished offering? It is not enough to simply hand over material possessions; your gift should be infused with the warmth of your heart. Without love, your act of giving becomes hollow, devoid of the true essence that gives it meaning. When you give without love, you are merely going through the motions, performing a duty without sincerity. Your gift may be accepted, but it will not touch the soul of the recipient, for it lacks the depth that only love can provide. It is like offering a feast to a hungry man but withholding the nourishment that truly satisfies. Love is the wellspring from which all true giving flows. It is the source of compassion and empathy that drives you to share with others. When you give with love, you are not seeking recognition or reward; your only desire is to bring joy and comfort to those in need. Your generosity becomes a reflection of your innermost being, a testament to the goodness that resides within you. Do not mistake mere charity for love, for they are not one and the same. Charity may be born out of duty or obligation, but love springs forth from the depths of your being. It is a force more powerful than any material gift, for it transcends the physical realm and touches the very essence of the soul. In the act of giving with love, you are not only enriching the lives of others but also nurturing your own spirit. It is through love that you find fulfillment and purpose, for it is in the giving of oneself that one truly receives. Let your gifts be a reflection of the love that dwells within you, so that your generosity may never be empty, but always overflowing with the richness of your heart.
