“The love we give away is the only love we keep”
— Elbert Hubbard
Simplified Meaning:
When we share love with others, it becomes a lasting part of us. Imagine you have a piece of chocolate. If you simply keep the chocolate without sharing, you enjoy it alone and then it’s gone. But if you share the chocolate with friends, you get to enjoy their happiness and the bond it creates sticks with you. This means that by giving love, you actually build lasting memories and relationships. For example, a teacher who cares about her students and helps them succeed might see them come back years later, thankful for her support. The love she gave out stays with her through their success and gratitude. Similarly, in our daily lives, being kind and loving to other people makes our lives more meaningful and connected. It’s a reminder that love isn’t diminished by giving it away; instead, it grows and enriches us and the people around us.
