It is better to give than to receive.  Why do you say this?  For you are innately familiar with what you call your Law of Attraction.  Give love and love comes back to you.  Withhold love and others feel that withholding, if only at a subconscious level.  Why do you wait for others to come to you in love and kindness?  Be that which you are and shine, beautiful light.  Smile your love upon others and watch what you receive in return.  Such a basic lesson, and yet, lost in your outward focus, you see so little love at times.  Turn the focus inward to the Light at your center and shine it, simply because that is what Light does.
