"Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared." - Buddha
This profound quote encapsulates the essence of happiness as something that grows and enriches when it's given away. It suggests that happiness is not a finite resource but a light that can ignite countless others without diminishing. Sharing joy with others doesn't just make them happier, it also amplifies our own happiness. It's a reminder that in the act of giving, we receive, and in brightening the lives of others, our own life is illuminated. This timeless wisdom from Buddha encourages us to spread happiness generously, knowing that it will come back to us manifold.
