Now, the purpose of us giving isn&#8217;t to receive. We give out of super-abundance. However it does seem that the logical <em>consequence<\/em> of us giving much is us receiving much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thus, don&#8217;t give in order to receive. Give because you want to share your inner-dopeness with others! And keep giving without exhaustion. And as a consequence of continually giving, you will receive more. And the more you receive, the more you can continue to give!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Life is about giving (and taking\/appropriating)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1180\" height=\"786\" data-attachment-id=\"157208\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/eric-kim-photography-la-los-angeles-2019-ricoh-gr-iii-21mm-63\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/eric-kim-photography-la-los-angeles-2019-ricoh-gr-iii-21mm-63.jpeg?fit=6000%2C4000&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"6000,4000\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;RICOH GR III&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1563734545&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;13.8&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0039840637450199&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"eric kim photography la &amp;#8211; los angeles 2019 ricoh gr iii &amp;#8211; 21mm 63\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Little Tokyo.

To draw out more moisture from the air, nutrients from the ground, etc. The roots grow deeper, and the branches grow taller, and the tree strives to absorb the maximum amount of light from the sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I wonder if we humans operate in the same way. Of course there is a fixed limit to our physical growth (at least in terms of height, not width). But we can continually put on more muscle mass, and continue to grain physical strength. And in order to do that, we must consume more resources, eat more meat, and put forth more physical effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thus, <strong>it is necessary for us to take\/appropriate in order to grow. We must consume in order to become stronger<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the point ain&#8217;t to simply take for the sake of taking.
