You might have seen hundreds of candles being lit from a single one and that remains the same as
ever before. When one candle is used to light another one, it loses practically nothing but contributes
considerably to the spreading of light.
One of the basic qualities that differentiates human beings from other animals is their ability to gain
knowledge and share it with the next generation. All the progress humans have achieved in life is
mainly because of this transmission of knowledge from one generation to another.
The various developments we come across in this world haven’t happened on a fine morning. Instead,
they were the result of the total compilation of knowledge humanity has gained all through these ages.
The knowledge one has gained in life is not something to be perished with his body and therefore, it
should be shared with others.
The most attractive aspect of sharing is that it doesn’t decrease but increases what one has. Moreover,
sharing fills one’s heart with a lot of feelings of satisfaction and contentment.
