GIVING
I wrote this about giving:
ALL GOOD THINGS RECEIVED BY RECEIVERS MUST BE EARNED... AND TAKEN... AND GIVEN BY GIVERS

The Giving Relationship
I agree with your comment - however this does not include the differences that occur between the giving by someone who was an immigrant to a New country who gives with their heart and time and work, and the misunderstanding by persons who were born and bred in the New country.
The latter's interpretation of the former`s self sacrifice is not considered giving at all, as no money was actually paid out.
I have personally been faced with such a reaction.
