The Ultimate Happiness: Giving Or Receiving?

Ladies & Gentlemen.
Have you ever thought about this question before? Which one always make you happy?
The common people will always say that they are more happy when receiving. That is true isn't it? Of course receiving makes us more happy. We feel life is easier for us when people help us and give us things instead of us giving.
Example, we will be happy when we get money from someone. But for how long? Are we still happy when the money is finished? I do not think so. Do you?
Then, say someone polishes your shoes. You just wear them happily, but as time goes they will get dirty again. Still the happiness dosen't last.
However, try puting yourself in the giving side. When you give money or giving a helping hand to the more needing, seeing the sparkle in their eyes, how they are really happy although of such small things, dosen't that somewhat makes us feel glad? Happy? Isn't that happiness will stay with us for a long time, possilbly forever.
What said here might be simple and may not have an effect either. Only we can feel it and experience it ourselves.
So the next time you are asked with this question, you should know the answer.
