DIVIDE.

There is nothing truer in life than
that there is glory enough for all.
Selfishness is always disintegrating
Get-oh. yesi But keep dividing what
you get. Keep distributing it. Keep
giving it away. 1t is the process that
is important.
If you have a child. the very first
lesson you should teach it should be to
divide its gifts and possessions.
There can be no civilization without
community of interest and helpfulness
and enjoyment. All other building is
upon the sand.

granting of happiness to others will
