About This Quote
There is no enjoying the possession of anything valuable unless one has someone to share it with, meaning we can’t appreciate our valuables and possessions if we don’t share them with others. Having a family and sharing things with them is also something that greatly enhances our lives and makes us appreciate life and all the things we have.
