Once, a boy was walking in the street holding a beautiful apple. An elderly man remarked, “That looks like a scrumptious apple.”
The boy replied, “It certainly does and I intend to eat it!”
The man asked, “Tell me. How could you enjoy twice as much pleasure out of this apple?”
“That’s simple,” said the boy. “Give me another apple and then it will be double.”
The man said, “You are mistaken. Cut it in half and give half away. Then you will discover the additional pleasure that comes from your friend eating the other half of the apple together with you.”
When we share goodness we will never be lonely and always feel validated.
