The More You Give, the More You Have
One who secretly mends others' lives — when does she ever take her own happiness in hand?
The more one does for others, the more one has; the more one gives to others, the greater one's own store.
Laozi said the more one does for others the more one has, and the more one gives the greater one's store.
📝The Classic Answers
Laozi said the more one does for others the more one has, and the more one gives the greater one's store. Giving is not a loss that empties the self but the very logic that fills it. One who secretly takes on another's trouble and toils over it, with no reward in sight, is already filling himself abundantly through that toil. The peace of heart left in the place where a right thing was finally done — that is the happiness he takes in hand. I choose not to count a small toil for another as loss alone, but to weigh as well the self it quietly fills.
