Why is it better to give than to receive?

It can go both ways.

Explanation: It depends on what you want. If you give something to expect something in return, then I believe is not better to give in is this situation, however, if you give because you are doing it out of the kindness of your heart, then I believe is better to give in this situation. This answer might vary from person to person, so I think you should concluded your own answer, and see what you believe for yourself.

imparadis't in one anothers arms  

the happier eden, shall enjoy their fill  

of bliss on bliss, while i to hell am thrust,  

where neither joy nor love, but fierce desire,  

among our other torments not the least,  

still unfulfill'd with pain of longing pines;  

yet let me not forget what i have gain'd  

from their own mouths; all is not theirs it seems:  

one fatal tree there stands of knowledge call'd,  

forbidden them to taste: knowledge forbidd'n?  

suspicious, reasonless. why should their lord  

envie them that? can it be sin to know,
