- Someone who is unable to write, some people just take ... where is the balance between giving and receiving?
In War and Peace there is something very beautiful: the protagonist, who appears already in the first volume of four, and Pierre Bezukhov is a tremendously generous person . Illegitimate son of a Russian nobleman, was actually very poor for a lifetime, and does not understand the value of money ;
when was poor did not care to be poor, and when it suddenly becomes very rich, still does not understand. So much money pours out to all who require it to him, and what he looks very nice.

however does not understand why - despite wanting to be good and giving to all - wrong all the time: people who give money or are not deserving or resent against him ... Eventually (after almost four volumes), and after being held captive by the French etc, discovers he has a kind of talent that does not know how he arrived, he realizes that he can give people which is good to give , and not to those to whom it is good not give. And from that moment is wonderfully observed ... even if he does not know how he came to have this ability.
Tolstoy does not explain it but it suggests to those who can and who is interested in the subject ... that if one asks whether and still wondering, he discovered (maybe after thirty years who read the novel) that there is an episode in which Pierre Bezukhov, deported by the French, going to be killed and close to death, and here he realizes that the thing that gives most trouble to the world and that makes you always wrong when you have consciousness you.
It 's a speech exactly opposite to self-esteem. As soon as you think to yourself and say "but I do what is right and what is right which is not ... etc?", Or follow a line of extreme caution and just end up not only what you choose and even that that your rationality (which is not a great satisfaction in the end, and eventually you get bored) or wrong.
Instead, the secret to finding balance in things is something wonderful but is achieved only for a very long time of growth is I find that your own is not . If you can do without the concept of I , just to be there - without thinking of being there - all your choices regarding giving and receiving are all of them right.
I think it's just an economic factor. Consider a piece of paper and say you represent all the strength I have, for example, for a total of 10 units. If this leaflet looks at himself, must spend part of his strength and then 4 units could be allocated to observation, so the end will have only the remaining 6. But if you're whole, and do not care to do something right or wrong, you're not there to think about it, to control - as if anyone cared that something exists or not - then you are always in balance .. . but this is difficult and can only be achieved through deep personal experience.
