Its the parts that are taken that count. Those parts are the essence of your personality. What you leave with other people is what matters most. You are nothing if there is no one to see you. If a light doesn’t have something to shine on, you cannot see that it is a light. In the same way, you need others to carry around parts of your soul.

With people to hold part of your soul, you are spreading an imprint of your very life. They will keep that part of you with them forever. Make the part that they keep count.
