Is it always a selfless act?In the Mali proverb, "One does not give a gift without a motive," we are reminded that there is always an underlying reason for gift-giving. Whether it is to gain favor, to get something in return, or simply to make someone feel good, there is always a motive behind the gift.In this video, we will explore the real meaning of gift-giving and share three nuggets of wisdom from the Mali proverb.Nuggets of wisdom:1. Be aware of the motives of the giver. When someone gives you a gift, it is important to be aware of their motives. Are they giving the gift out of love, or are they expecting something in return?2. Don't be afraid to accept gifts. It is okay to accept gifts, even if you know that the giver has a motive. Just be aware of the motive and don't let it make you feel indebted to the giver.3. Give gifts with no expectations. The best way to give a gift is to do it with no expectations. Give the gift because you want to make the other person happy, not because you expect something in return.I hope this video has given you some insights into the real meaning of gift-giving.
