There is immense value

within each one of us

that is cumulatively enriched

when we share with each other.

 

But when it comes to giving,

sadly we hold back

in the pretext of protecting ourselves

and then ironically wonder

where has the goodness of this world gone?

 

It takes wisdom to realise

and courage to admit

that what you have accumulated

through various experiences

isn't yours alone.

 

You share a part of something

bigger than yourself.

There is nothing you own.

For even your life was given to you.
