Sometimes it's more generous to take than give,he said.How? Caroline asked.To let the other person give you what he has to offer. If you're always the one giving, you never have to feel disappointed, because you don't expect anything in return. But it's miserly in its own way. Because you never leave yourself open or give the other person a chance.

In the book "Firefly Beach" by Luanne Rice, a character reflects on the dynamics of giving and receiving in relationships. He suggests that there is a certain generosity in allowing others to give, as it opens up opportunities for connection and gratitude. Constantly being the one who gives can create a barrier, preventing genuine exchanges.

Caroline questions this perspective, but the character explains that expecting nothing in return can lead to disappointment. However, this mindset can be restrictive and can limit emotional intimacy with others. By not accepting what others offer, one becomes "miserly," missing out on richer interpersonal experiences.
