In yesterday's post I requested thoughts/reactions Re: donate vs gift. There was only on response but that was a good one. NN wrote "...maybe a donation feels like duty or obligation and a gift is a present/ a surprise/ to give joy because you want to share." NN put into words what I feel is the difference between 'give' and 'donate'.
In the same way I feel there is huge difference between 'gift' and 'contribution.' It goes to the intrinsic motivation that lies behind the action. Yes, perhaps 'gift' and 'contribution' are not perfectly synonymous. Motivation matters and 'gift' strikes at motivation.
Takk for alt,
