They are afraid that if they actually did give away free product it would be the same as if I went to a grocery store and got strawberry’s for free, I probably wouldn’t pay for them again the next time I came back and others might see and say. “He got them for free why can’t I?” And it could cause a huge mess losing many profits.

This quote stuck with me due to both how poetic it was but also due to my love for strawberries. Since I was little I have loved strawberries maybe unconsciously I knew it was the “Heart Fruit” or maybe I didn’t. Either way, many of my childhood memories revolve around strawberries; I picked them, farmed them, ate them, and treasured them. To me it makes sense that strawberries are the heart fruit, after all, how could they not be when they are as beautiful as they are?

-> People are hesitant about giving because of greed, people are scared that other people are going to have more than them and they get jealous. They think that being generous means you must get something in return instead of it being a gift out of generosity. So instead of just giving they expect something in return like money.

I chose this quote because people dont usually respect boundaries, and peer pressure people into doing stuff they really dont want to do, it reminds me of a society that needs to change.

(Answer for question 2)

Me and my family buy strawberries, and water, after reading this subchapter I realized that every plant is a gift, every berry is a gift and shouldnt be sold. Affecting my shopping habits, im going to try and grow some strawberries.

Something I’m grateful for is the people I surround myself with. I feel lucky to have these people in my life because they make the person I am today and except they way I am.

I like strawberries they taste good

Oh, strawberries are just the best, aren't they? 🍓 I could talk about them all day! Did you know that strawberries are actually a member of the rose family? They're like little bursts of sunshine, bright red and full of flavor. And they're so versatile too! You can use them in so many different recipes. From strawberry jam and pies to strawberry salads and smoothies, there's no shortage of tasty ways to enjoy them. Plus, they're a great source of vitamins and antioxidants. So not only are they delicious, but they're good for you too! How about you? Do you have any favorite strawberry recipes or fun facts to share?

A quote that stands out to me is “Thinking of something as a gift changes your relationship to it.” This stands out to me because i feel that you appreciate a gift more than something that you buy urself. Compared to something you buy urself a gift is usually taken better care of and appreciated more. This is due to the fact someone or something thought about you, and went out of their way for you.

Why are people hesitant about giving?

I think people are hesitant about giving because we have normalized that we only give someone something on a special occasion, like a birthday, holiday, big achievement, etc. I also feel that now people only buy something for someone and fear they may not like it or need that item, compared to if you make something homemade people tend to appreciate that item more.

I don't think that people are hesitant to give. They don't even consider it, Nowadays society is so focused on personal gain that no one looks to support, help or give to others. People are afraid of losing at "the race of life." As much as we as a society think that looking out for personal gain will benefit us, that is not always the case. I think that it is important for more people today to consider the ways Indigenous People view others and the world as it can lead to a happier society. This will in turn create better life experiences for every individual.
