“The joy that isn't shared dies young”
— Anne Sexton

Simplified Meaning:
When you experience something wonderful but keep it to yourself, the happiness you feel can fade quickly. Sharing joy with others makes the feeling last longer and makes everyone involved feel good. Think about a time when you heard a funny joke or received good news; it became even better when you told a friend. This is because their smile or laughter made your happiness stronger. It’s like when you celebrate a birthday—you invite friends and family to share the fun, which makes the event more special. So, whenever something great happens to you, telling others about it helps keep that joyful feeling alive.
