Quote by Edith Wharton

There are two ways to spread happiness; either be the light

Summary

This quote highlights that there are two roles we can play in spreading happiness. One is to be the source of happiness ourselves, acting as a "light" that radiates positivity and joy. The second role is to be receptive and reflective like a "mirror," embodying and amplifying the happiness of those around us. Whether we are actively creating happiness or simply reflecting it, this quote encourages us to actively contribute to spreading joy and making the world a brighter place.
