We sometimes get carried away by the actualization of our dreams. We measure our wealth and the reality of what we have acquired block the real essence of our existence. We know that when we share, we are giving a bit of our sweat, our struggles and a bit of our worth. We know that when we share, we are giving a bit of ourselves. We see no reason in giving. We become selfish in our quest.
