Giving is a spiritual thing. When we give, whatever we give, we are giving a piece of ourselves. Taking, however, always relates to the physical. It centers around the gift itself. But there's another side to taking which is more insidious.
Actions habituate our personality.
Actions turn us into who we are. Taking leads to wanting to take. And the desire to take is insatiable. Unlike a bodily appetite such as hunger which can be satiated, the desire to take is a beast which demands constant feeding. In essence, this is because the nature of taking is always focused on what is outside myself, wanting what I don't have.
