      Transitioning from a self-centered perception of reality to one grounded in altruism entails perceiving the needs of another creature as your own and thus treating the other as you would treat yourself.

      It comes from a realization that everything is the will of the creator, every unpleasant experience I experience throughout the day is an opportunity to work on egoism. This way when I encounter obstacles, there is none that is too small or too big, because to move toward being altruistic my motivations have to be equal in wanting good for others as for myself and that they will have the quality of bestowal.

      Loving thy Neighbor, but also with realistic spectacles of if their neighbor is more egotistical that you still live in the corporal world

      Loving thy neighbor  and bestow to please the Creator. This may mean doing things for the good of the group versus just for your own benefit

      One thing I experience and I profoundly believe in, it is the JOY OF GIVING.

      Indeed there is a certain sense of fulfilment I feel when I give.

      The Holy Bible is full of examples about the JOY OF GIVING.

      It says:

      “It is more blessed to give than to receive,” : Acts 20:35

      “Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver” : 2 Corinthians 9:7

      “A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed,” : Proverbs 11:25

      “Give, and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the same measure you use, it will be measured back to you” : Luke 6:38

      “He has distributed freely; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn is exalted in honor” : Psalm 112:9
