Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.
Buddha

We must work on abundance. Because ultimately the most selfish thing we can do is to become selfless. It is from this inner kindling of Self, that ultimately we build the reserves needed to give loving kindness to others, which can not only increase our own happiness habits, but also rekindle that dwindling light in others.
