It's Better Together
“There is no enjoying the possession of anything valuable unless one has someone to share it with.”
—Seneca
Letters From A Stoic
Seneca is tapping into a timeless truth about human fulfillment: we are social creatures at heart. It's not the expensive watch, the latest phone, or that shiny car that fills the cup of joy to the brim—it's the shared experiences and connections with others that turn our possessions from mere objects into treasures.
Think about the last time you achieved something significant. Did it truly sing until you shared the news with someone close to you? The value isn’t merely in having, but in weaving what we have into the lives of others.
Apply this lesson to your daily life by pausing to consider who you can bring into your moments of success and joy. Next time you indulge in a fancy meal, buy that book you’ve been eyeing, or simply enjoy a beautiful sunset, ask yourself: "Who would appreciate this as much as I do?"
Reach out to them, share your experience—or better yet, include them in real-time. Watch as the enjoyment of your possession multiplies through the act of sharing, and notice how this enriches both your life and theirs.
Isn't life more vibrant when lived together?
