Sharing things with others is advisable both in religion and science. Because the psychological return to everyone is immeasurable. It makes the giver prosperous.
People with lots of money round the world are not seen deriving the imagined level of satisfaction from their life. Extending help is a way of proving that life is not only about amassing material fortune or money. It goes beyond that. So sharing our love, time, money or whatever wealth we have could lend force to our happiness. Seeing the head of the country or public figures spend their time to cheer up people in need also delights others.
Last Ethiopian Christmas, together with others government officials, the Prime Minister had celebrated Ethiopian Christmas (Gena) with elders, children and persons with disability at Unity Park.
In his remarks Prime Minister Abiy stressed the importance of giving and sharing what one has, as material wealth by itself does not make one contented.
Everyone has something to share to others but heads of states worldwide also need to make such symbolic gestures every time.
