Happiness never decreases by being shared

Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.
 - Buddhist Quote


You ever notice that smiles are contagious? The same with laughter. And laughter IS the best medicine.

I know that I've got a nasty habit of trying to make a glum person smile. An honest compliment to a person that needs it is one of the best and easiest gifts to give, wouldn't you say?

I've also noticed that when I'm busy trying to make someone else smile, I end up smiling too. Have you ever noticed that? Happiness is cool. People want it. Give it to them, and they'll remember you as being someone cool. And you didn't do anything other then trying to make them happy and you also forget your own troubles.  It's a Win Win.
That's how 12 step programs (and happiness) work, you can't keep it, unless you give it away.
