You don't have to take it in as black or white. It does not mean "give away everything you have and be miserable".
The way I read it was: don't hoard, make others happy.
It does not mean I should live a miserable life in hope that someone, whom I'm giving to, will recognize it.
The wisdom can escape you if you take what's written literally letter for letter, as if you're a computer.
- nunorbatista 6y ago"giving too much away" is not only material stuff. You can give too much time away, mainly taking care of others that should be able to find a way to take care of themselves (obviously not talking about elderly people). I'm married to a nurse, and I know a lot of people on the field. I'm constantly amazed how they are wired to take care of others before themselves.
