Happiness is something that increases if you share it with other people. A lot of people don’t like to share their happiness, and they think that it will decrease if they share it. Well, you have to understand that happiness is not money. Unlike money, it will not reduce if you share it with other people.

To be precise, happiness is something that will elevate if you share it with other people. So, never enjoy your happiness alone. Instead of that, try to share it with everyone. And you will see that the duration of your happiness increased.

In this quote, ‘Buddha’ utilized the word ‘Candle’ to give the best example of happiness. Consider the case of the candle when it comes to happiness. You see, to lit a hundred candles, all you need is a single candle. And the best part is, it will not die even after giving lights to all the other candles. You can consider fire to be the happiness that the candle is sharing.

Also, you can see that after sharing the fire with other candles, they will illuminate more. Similarly, if you share your happiness with other people, it will increase considerably. So, make sure to spread happiness to other people, and eventually, this world will become a happy place. If everyone around you becomes happy, it will satisfy your soul as well.
