off topic and on To all, For Traders and friends and family Giving and Taking Giving and Taking is a process, where we should find a balance between the both. With this balance a good atmosphere evolves, a warm atmosphere of well-being, more quality of life and more success. Giving and Taking is a quality conected to tolerance and brothery love. Everyday we experience this theme as a kind of balancing, thinking, weightening up, a continious decision pro or contra. Giving and taking is always mutual, there are always two persons. We get not enough - we get too much, we think we give less or too much. We feel used or we use others, we give and control others, we take and feel powerless. It is an art to give people what they can take, which requires a high level of knowledge of human nature. Too often we transfer our own needs and fears on others, without realzing what they really need. Some people feel that taking is a sort of manipulation or charity. Look closely at the situations in your life when you have given something to others. Was it a charity? Did you distribute in a fair way? Did you wanted to control someone with your giving? Did you care for the needs of the others? When we are in the role of the taking part, it can be that we where getting too comfortable. People who like to play the taking part take no responsibility for their life and expect from others that they give them what they want. Often this kind of behaviour evolves from experiences of the childhood. Maybe we had brothers and sisters and we saw our parents in the role of the person who gives. It is important for us to realize that these situations can be changed. We don't have to play our roles forever, but we should change our own behaviour first before we demand it from the others. We should realize that we have intiniated these situations and so we can change them by ourselves, too. Take the responsibility for yourself and give up your comfortness. In order to keep the giving and taking in a flow it requires clarity and open eyes. It is a challenge we should face. ALEXANDRA FUZINSKI Happy Thanksgiving to all ZSue
