Many of us grew up with the ideology that it is better to give than to receive and yet I would argue there are hidden downsides to prioritizing giving over receiving. I’m referring to interpersonal relating, not social policy, which could use a hearty dose of the golden rule. Is it difficult for you to receive love, caring, and compliments? Do you silently squirm inside when someone offers a kind word or a present — or do you allow yourself to deeply receive the gift of kindness, caring, and connection? Join me today as we look at this idea in depth as well as an ancient parable told by a radical Rabbi.
