In season 2, I talked about giving and receiving in the sense of energy. In this episode, I explore the benefits of giving from a religious standpoint, namely from the perspectives of Judaism, Islam and Christianity. The Old Testament offers much guidance on philanthropy, as well as clues as to why giving is important. I examine the origin of tithing and charity and conclude that giving money, time, and, of course, love is the best investment for any human being, since the return is stupendous.
