366 days of wisdom (February 23, 2020)

Day 54 of wisdom

“Happiness is something that multiplies when it is divided.”

Paulo Coelho.

A Swedish proverb says, "when you share sorrow it divides; when you share happiness it multiplies." Happiness is free, but it comes at a cost, you must be consciously determined to have it. No one holds the key to another persons happiness no matter who he or she is, not even your parents, spouse, or siblings, your are solely responsible for your happiness.

Happiness is contagious, and can easily be spread when you are close to someone who is, and is always happy. Though sorrow, and sadness are also contagious, the truth is when either (happiness, or sorrow) are being shared there is either a multiplier, or divisive effect. When you share sorrow with the right person it divides, because you receive consolation, and encouragement, but whoever you share happiness with, it multiplies.

Sorrow is not a good thing to be shared, but the good in sharing sorrow is that it reduces when it is being shared, the burden if sorrow is too heavy for an individual to bear so, it is better shared to get reduced. Happiness on the other hand dilutes sorrow, so we should always ensure we  spread it far and wide.

The world needs more happy people, so, share your sorrows with people, and let's have it reduced, likewise should we share happiness, and let's make it multiply.

Happiness is free, don't hoard it, share it.
