The sense of giving is a glorious thing to do. It brings people together, no matter how old they are. The Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa seasons are giving to your loved ones. They are also about being with your families. If you give someone a gift they fell that you respect them and that they belong. The same is with youself. Everyone is given something that is priceless. An example of thiss would be love. You can give and recieve love.

This quote lets everyone understand that giving not only lets you feel good but the reciever as well. Everyone says it's nice to give gifts and you know it makes you feel good but you never really think about the way it makes the reciever feel. It builds a special connection between the two unlike any other. It helps both people feel more accepted. Which leads to a new sense of belonging like the quote says. This time of year more then others is the season for giving. Holidays are coming up and it is giving people a chance to feel more accepted and happy. It gives people a chance to get closer and accepted. That is what i feel this quote is trying to protray.

Giving is a wonderful thing. If you have extra time/money, you should give it to the less fortunate. My hockey team does a lot of stuff to give. All season so far, we have had different jobs we have had to do to raise money. At the end, we will have over $1,000. We use this money to give presents to a family that lost their job. The connection that is created by giving is amazing. The less fortunate people think they don't belong in the world and when you give them presents and help them out, the feel like your family and they're suppose to be there.

To give is also to make ones self happy and others who surround them. Instead of being a selfish person you should give to the less fourtunate and help to make others happy. Most will find that this is a gift for yourself and the receiver. When i give to others it makes me all warm hearted and happy. During the giving season we all come together and give to others. It brings us closer, accepted, and feel loved. So during the season we should all try to give to the less fourtunate and help them feel accepted and loved in society.

A sense of belonging in the world is vital to people and how they live their lives. This quote is a prime example of the season of Christmas. You can give to people with intangible and tangible things. Love is a good example of something intangible but it can bring two people close. Gifts and presents are an example of tangible objects that once again, bring two people together. You get a sense of belonging because when someone gives you something it makes you feel important and that someone cares about you. Overall, giving brings two people closer together.

Giving, is a very generous thing to do, and many things can come of it. It can connect people by gratitude the person shows at the gift, and the satisfaction the giver gets from giving. This is shown in the holidays, like Christmas and Hanuka, and also birthdays. Also for anniversaries, and other things like that. All of thees actions help bring people closer together from the act of giving. This connection can create a sens of belonging. This means that from the friendship, or sens of conection created between people from giving, can creat a sens of securnest, and famlyness in the group

I believe that this quote is definentaly true. If some one gives another person something, wether its something small or something big Those two people will be connecting. Giving is something great for everyone to do. When you give something something, you feel good about yourself. It cheers you up, especialy if the personm likes what you give them. The connecting of the two people from the giving and recieving is grand. The tradition of giving is carried out in tradition. I really dont know how to explain the last part of this quote but I think Chopra means that the people that give and recieve will feel a sense of companionship with the other person.

I believe in this quote. A good example of this would be CHristmas. People are always giving and recieving and that creates a new bond beween them. When you give it is a great feeling and it should make you feel like a better person. WHen you give to people it makes them feel important and that they belong. I enjoy when I give to people and it makes me feel likea better person. I can feel a bond when I give and recieve and I know everyone else feels the same. Christmas time is a great time to express this bond between people.

Giving is a great thing to do. If you give something to someone else the person that you gave to is going to feel great. You should feel great too. "this connection gives birth to a new sense of belonging."... When you give something to someone else, most of the time you will feel closer to them. I know I do. The birth of belonging is acceptance. When you feel accepted, you feel like you belong! Oh, it's great to give! :)

Giving is one of the greatest things you can do. Giving makes the person who recieves feel good and the person who is giving feel good. In the quote it means that when people give, it makes a new sense of connection because people feel good about themseleves. Giving doesnt have to be in gift form either, it can also be in the form of just giving a comment that makes people feel better. When it says it gives a new sense of belonging it means that people kmow they can be comfortable around that person. Giving will give a person what they like to feel, it makes them belong. Giving is what brings the world together.

The sense of giving is a reward from giving something to someone. The bond that is made will allow you to make new freinds or show old freinds that you still apreachate them.The reciver get something they dont have and may learn to pass on the sense of giving or aquere it. For the giver the sense of belonging is the fact that somebody else has recived something. The sense of belonging for the reciver is that they have goot something new or anthor of something. The bond between the giver and the reciver will last antill the object is lost or forgoten.Giving connects two people, the giver and the receiver, and this connection gives birth to a new sense of belonging.(Deepak Chopra)
