Are you actually giving when you are doing charity?

Why does giving brings in more happiness? Who are the three parties involved in both giving and taking? There are two active parties and one passive party in both transactions. Who are the active parties when you are giving and who are the active parties when you are taking? When you are the taker, the active parties are the giver and God and the taker is the passive party. He has no control over someone giving him something or not. He can ask endlessly. When you are the giver, the active parties are the taker and you. God is just the passive party. In this scenario, the taker is actively asking and you are actively giving and God is just setting the occasion. Otherwise, when you are taker you are not in control whether you will get what you ask for; When you are the giver, you are in control of whether you want to give or not.
When you are giver you wouldn't even realise if there was a requirement till someone asked you. You life will go on. You wouldn't even miss anything.
You can look up and say "Look God what I have done". That is why giving brings you more happiness.
When you have a desire to give and you go running around to give something, you become the taker and not the giver.
