I have found that &quot;giving&quot; with the expectation of getting something in return is just wrong headed. Give because you want to give. Of course you have to be careful of the takers. Friend of mine for many years was moving, he called me and asked me to help. I said &quot;Roy, you are worth 10 million bucks, go pay someone to help you!&quot; and he did.
There are endless supplies of good people in the world. But it takes effort, and sometimes you are rejected. Live with it and move on.
