In Jonas's community, no one makes choices. All choices about the community were made in the distant past when Sameness was created, and any additional changes involve painfully slow bureaucratic procedures. Without choice, no one suffers the consequences that come from making wrong choices, but they also don't experience the joys that come with making right ones. By sacrificing the freedom of choice, community members are guaranteed a stable, painless life. Consequently, the people lead pleasant—but robotic—lives.

When Jonas discovers memory, he realizes that choice is essential to human happiness. Choice, he learns, is power. He makes the first real choice in his life when he decides to escape from the community and take Gabriel with him. In making this significant and dangerous choice, he gives a windfall of pleasure and pain to the people he leaves behind, and gives the freedom of choice back to the community.

Well, this is a tricky question, and I don't know what it is specifically talking about. I don't know what the giver gave, so I will do my best to answer your question.

The person who gives things to society is very happy with his choice, because he knows that he helped other people in need. If he gave blankets, or coats to the poor, then he would feel very satisfied with himself, because he just helped someone else who was in dire trouble. If he gave money to the society, that can be tricky. Some people take things and never say thanks, and it makes the giver kind of sad that someone would take advantage of him. This should not make the giver stop giving to society, because he is angry, because he would be foolish to think that the world isn't selfish. It all boils down to why you did it.

Jesus said that "When you help one of these little ones, you have helped Me", so be happy if you have done something for God or the poor, because you will be glad you did.
