Since ancient times it has been said that the Universe is governed by
Universal Laws that affect everything we think and do. One of the laws that
everyone should know about is the giving and receiving Universal Law.
From the metaphysics point of view it has been said that everything is
energy and whenever we do something we are investing energy and whenever we
receive something from other people we are absorbing energy. If, for example, a
person spends many hours and effort to do something without receiving anything
in return, this person takes the risk of ending up feeling frustrated and
overwhelmed. The feeling of overwhelming is indicative that a person is
investing too much energy and not recovering the invested energy. Our bodies
can be compared to the gasoline tanks that motor vehicles have. If we use the
fuel without refilling the tank, the motor vehicle stops. In the same way, if
people invest much energy to do something and they are not receiving energy in
exchange, our bodies cease to function properly and as a result we feel
overwhelmed.
If you do a simple favor to a person without asking anything in return,
usually there is no problem because the invested energy in doing this favor is
minimal. However, when we do a job that takes us several hours a day for months
or years, even if it is for a noble and just cause, it is important to ask
something equitable in exchange because otherwise we would end up exhausted and
not wanting to continue. It is important to be in tune with the Universal Law
of giving and receiving if we want to live a life full of happiness and
emotional stability.
