Seeing The Giftness

It is only a gift when received as such.  The "giftness" is in both the offer and in the receiving of it.  If I value what I present but it has no meaning or importance to the one to whom I present it, then it is only partially what it should be.  It is no less important, no less prized by me, but it would be unfair to give to someone who cannot see it for what it is to me.  To that person, I would better give something else, if I have it.
