Rivers do not drink their own water;

 

trees do not eat their own fruit;

 

the sun does not shine on itself and
flowers do not spread their fragrance for themselves.

 

Living for others is the rule of nature. We are all born to help each other.

 

No matter how difficult it is...Life is good when you are happy;

 

but much better when others are happy
because of you.

 

                               Pope Francis 2020
