The spirit of altruism and generosity is wired into the human psyche.  I recently saw a number of people on the metro-rail reaching into their pockets for coins to give a homeless man on the train, even though it was fairly obvious that the train passengers themselves had very little to give.   Millions of people all over the world give of their time, energies, talents, and monies just because they feel compelled to do so. 

This week’s Bluestocking topic is about gift-giving and gift-receiving.    Discuss a special gift you once gave to someone, or would like to give to someone in the future.  Conversely, what special gift have you received in your life that has meant a lot to you?  Or what gift would you like someone give to you?   What acts of altruism have you witnessed in your life?
