Full

The usual meaning of full is being stuffed with food we can no longer eat anymore. We describe full with a particular size. When a container is already full, it can no longer contain anything extra. But is this true? 

There is an interesting experiment we can all do. 

• Take a glass container and simply fill it with pebbles to the max. It looks full but is it really so? 
• Take some sand and simply fill it into the same container with pebbles to the max. It looks full but is it really so? 
• Take some water and simply fill it into the same container with pebbles and sand to the max. It looks full but is it really so? 

Sometimes things does not look like it seems. It is the perception of our mind that makes it look as though it is full. Perhaps it is better described as filled but not full. 

How can we be sure that we are full? 

Simple. 

When we have extra to give. If we are full of something, we have the urge to giveaway something, to anybody in need.  

How can we be sure we have extra to give? 

Simple. 

When we understand the true meaning of giving. It makes others happy. By giving, it fill others' lives with light and joy. Making others happy means everything. 

First things first, make sure we are full ourselves, and then we can make sure to fill others as well. 

Sometimes being selfish is being selfless.
