Live is to Love, Love is to Give, Give is to Have Love.

I just read that yesterday. It is really an interesting circle, isn't it? And we can have so much say about it, but let's save them for another time.
So this is like an equation, and the answer is Live is to Give and you will have love. But the problem is that no one likes to give, rather we think we all need to be given. Just wonder and play with it. We always say there is positive circle and negative circle, and this is absolutely a shining positive one.
Are we going to be dare enough to put Give as Priority as goal in our life? We are not, because we have to deal with 2 fears first, we are so occupied by that sub-consciously, 1) the Fear of Death of Body and 2) the Fear of Losing our Ego. As we think of the miserable destiny of our body, we worried about that so much, all the time, every moment. And as "We spend first part of our lives trying to acquire an identity(our Ego), and the remainder of our lives desperately defending that Ego"(by Jivamukti). We quarrel, we fight, we defense and we have no peace and there is no question of Give. How can we give while feeling that we are losing?
Unless we can let go of the Fear of Death and let go of our Ego, consciously and subconsciously, we can not let go the root of our worries day in and day out. Unless we understand we are not our body and mind(gross and subtle), and as immortal spirit we essentially have nothing material to gain or lose, we can not transcendent the duality of this world. And unless we understand Give is our true nature, Service is our true function, Love is our eternal identity, we can not embrace Give and Love fully, although that's the only thing make us happy and the only remedy for Fear. But when we are willing and start to practice Give, whole heartedly and without conditions, Love will flow.
Life can be a Flow of Love, and that is ananda, the spiritual energy of ecstasy, the bliss. It is the Give that creat, facilitate and enhance that flow. When we give fully and thus hollow ourself, the universal pressure around us will fill us up immediately again and again, we can never remain empty, because that is not allowed by the law of Physics. By the way, there is no Emptiness in the whole creation.
