Asteya is the principle of honesty and trustworthy by only accepting what is earned or freely given and never taking or stealing be it material objects or ideas.
To complement this principle the act of giving needs to be without expectations. The value of a gift lies in the act of giving itself.
But giving too much can deplete one and hence it is equally important to replenish oneself.
One would feel let down and abused if there was an expectation in the giving. But the fact is the receiver cannot be blamed as he/she would not have expected you to give or would be incapable of reciprocating. Also it is to be noted that the bad feelings one developed was only becau of one's own deceiving thoughts of receiving something I return for what one offered.
