In Stoic and Hellenic thought, to give freely is an exercise in detachment. Expect nothing in return, for virtue is its own reward.

And remember: a gift doesn't have to be something grand - it can be something small, like a cup of coffee. Finding opportunities to give small gifts to those you care about can strengthen your relationship with them and help you practice compassion.
