Tonight, I made a meal for my wife. Just a sandwich, nothing special. I made some little flags with paper and put them on toothpicks so that the sandwich would look like it was from some cheezy restaurant. I dress up the plate real nice and all. When i gave it to her, she smiled, and laughed out loud. Tis truly better to give, for that moment I was filled with the thought of her happiness, her pleasure. It was good.

This moment is typical of the moments I hunt for. If your brain is wired that way, then the pleasure of giving will always be a lot bigger than receiving. It is for me anyway. Now I suppose that it could be said that in actuality, I am just looking for ways to get brain candy, using "giving" as a coin in the gumball machine of the brain.
