Summary

This quote suggests that happiness is contagious; when you share happiness with others, you also experience its positive effects. Just like a perfume that cannot be poured on others without leaving some fragrance on oneself, spreading happiness to others brings joy and fulfillment back to one's own life. In essence, the act of spreading happiness creates a reciprocal and mutually beneficial relationship, enhancing the overall well-being of both the giver and the receiver.
