Living is right for yourself. To live for others is to deceive oneself. Giving love to others is the way to get love.
If you make someone happy, that happiness will one day become poison. Because you are not happy in your life. You are not full of love.
Unless you have access to love or bliss, you cannot share it.
Unless a plant is full of flowers, a tree is not laden with fruits, they cannot share their flowers and fruits. When you are full of joy and love, you do not have to ask to share it. It is a bliss to share it.
When Gautama Buddha was not enlightened, he kept silent as if he were nowhere. But as soon as he became available to e enlightenment and bliss, he started searching for his friends to share it.
When he reached home, wife Yashodhara jokingly told his son Rahul, "Look, this is your father who is a monk. Go and ask for the property that you want from him." Then the Buddha initiated Rahul. He said, "This is my son. What's right for him? I know. The wealth of bliss and enlightenment that I have, I give to Rahul as heir."
