I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catch

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of reciprocity in life. It suggests that we should not only passively receive, but also actively give back. Going through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands implies constantly being in the receiving mode without contributing. To truly engage with life, we must be willing to give and share our skills, love, kindness, and support. By throwing something back, we actively contribute to the goodness and well-being of others, fostering mutual growth and fulfillment.
