It is not just for the sake of other people that tells us to give rather than get, but for our own sakes too.

Where 'much is given much is required.' (D&C 82:3.)

Ezra Taft Benson

His blood, the blood of the grape, lightens the burden of our mortal misery. Though himself a God, it is his blood we pour out to offer thanks to the Gods. And through him, we are blessed.
