Getting or Giving

It's not what you get or what you have that's important.
It's what you give!

I want that to be the cornerstone of how I live. I observe our society and feel great concern for what we are modeling and teaching our children. The rampant consumer driven culture is supporting a lot of discontent and the desire to have more.
I'm not saying this as an all or nothing statement. It seems to me that when we have a lot of desires around having we have lost our center. When we are focusing on getting and having we aren't in our heart. Which for me, is where I want to live as much as possible.
How do you feel about it?
