What if to give or not to give, does not exist, ad we are all always giving.
The Bedohagi model allows us to follow this natural process.
Living is BEing, being takes effort(energy) and this leads to DOing(Change).
The laws of Entropy, Growth and Decay mean that doing nothing, if that were possible, would be the most energetic activity there could be.
Doing leads to HAving the outcome(s) of action(s). Having is a function of NOW, the moment, and to have is temporary. The second principle of thermodynamics, is often interpreted as proof of permanent decline leading to death and annihilation. The principle being that all changes of state lead to a LOSS of useful energy, including the change from 'having' to 'not having'.
What happens, however, if instead of losing we talk of GIving. Scientists and engineers often talk about systems 'giving up heat' as if it were a choice not an inevitability.
When we move from 'having' to 'not having' we can make this a conscious, loving decision to give.
What if giving instead of lowering overall energy states, by creating a movement of energy, increases them.
Matthew 5 -41 "Whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two. -42 Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you."
The Messenger (Bless him and give him peace) said: "When a person dies, his works end, except for three: ongoing charity, knowledge that is benefited from, and a righteous child who prays for him."
When we give we create. What if that act of creation is a process of bringing new energy into the world.
When we focus on loss do we block the advent of new things and fail to create space for receiving.
If Life is a gift then is to live to give?
Maybe being alive means giving is not an option, how and what you give is, and this defines your BEing.
Live if you wanna Live? Give if you wanna Live!
