Gifts are inseparable part of our culture. Ever since we are children we get used to receiving gifts. Attention and recognition are measured by gifts. This seems not the right direction to follow. Today I had received a nice gift - sun metal wall sculpture. I am pleased to have it and I will never give it back to the person who gave it to me but I am not certain if this gifts giving policy is a step into the right direction. Gifts are great to receive but we constantly exploit this idea of giving.
Gifts should be given only in very rare occasions. Gifts must be restrained, because the educate us being consumers ever wanting and expecting to receive. This brings us one step near to the greed and I believe humans must be educated not to be greedy materialists.
