Math, etc. Lesson
I love this quote from Steve Martin (from my Sunday morning Starbucks cup):
"If you've got a dollar and you spend twenty-nine cents on a loaf of bread, you've got seventy-one cents left. But if you've got seventeen grand and you spend twenty-nine cents on a loaf of bread, you've still got seventeen grand. There's a math lesson for you."
But it's more than a math lesson, isn't it? Strikes me that the same "math" applies to the dynamics of love, respect, wisdom, confidence, etc. The more we have these qualities in us, the less it feels like we're "spending" (i.e. diminishing ourselves) when we give them to others.
