I am a science teacher in a government school. In the era of science and technology, every event,# occasion, big or small, is associated with giving #material present or receiving material presents. No doubt both activities of giving or receiving presents give very #unique goodwill.
Actually give and take of presents is a symbol of love #associated with a person.
I am not against costly presents. My personal observation is that if one believes in giving #costly presents, then the fun of the occasion does not remain to the same level. Some people always expect #costly presents, which may not be possible #every time. I feel that this activity sometimes gets converted to #commercial activity of giving and taking. Then the meaning of the present gets lost somewhere. Sometimes # goodwill is also lost.
Format to make goodwill
I strongly believe that #giving one's time to help someone is the best present one can give. I also strongly believe that if one happens to give a material present, it may generat good will but #time given to someone can not be generated again.
I also strongly believe that if someone has travelled all the way to wish me well, certainly he/she have spent energy and time, I must respect him/her. It's ok if she/he has not brought a material present for me. But unfortunately, many people do not understand this precious deep #philosophy of life.
I have also observed that many people avoid meeting their #loved ones in person as they are not in a position to give a material present which they once upon a time have #happen to receive from the same. Some people make this issue very strong which look ugly also. Unfortunately they understand meaning of relationship through this window of transaction.
Some people believe in giving cash instead of material presents. The philosophy behind this is that one can buy anything with the money that one thinks one needs.
I personly feel costly present or gift some times creat walls instead of bridge in relationship. Costliest present, according to me, is to help others at a #difficult time.
Moral -Presents - gifts given in the form of #material or cash are a symbol of one's love or #respect for others. The best is that one should avoid finding out gift value in terms of #cash. Doing this sometimes creates difficult and #hard feelings for each other. The best is never ever get into this type of circle of #transaction which sometimes make relationship bitter.
