Summary
This quote suggests that keeping things to oneself leads to their loss or eventual disappearance, whereas sharing and giving away things allows them to be preserved or retained indefinitely. The implication is that by holding on to things without sharing or giving them to others, they lose their inherent value or significance over time. However, when we are generous and selfless by sharing with others, the impact and importance of what we give away stay with us, leaving a lasting and meaningful imprint.
