Have you some system? You say you don' t beli eve in ys– tematic giving? Well, why not try eating - not in a sy tematic manner , but pasmodically - every once in a while. Also try it on your landlord, pay the r ent occasionally when you feel touched by pecial emotion. Try it on your job - don' t work regularly~ every day beginning at a certain hour , but come once in a while when you are particularly moved to do o.
