Cake and candles

People generally will react in one of two ways:

First, their view is similar to a piece a cake. There are limited resources (finite) and that if someone gets a bigger piece of cake that means I must have got a smaller piece.

Second, their view is like a candle. When we share our knowledge and generous with what we can offer we are lighting another person’s candle. As a result we are adding more light in the room.
