“When Holding Costs More Than Sharing”

Introduction: Explore the lesson with Amos—not from a religious standpoint, but from a moral and communal perspective. Selfish behavior, whether over food, opportunity, or access, isolates us and diminishes collective well-being.

Conflict Someone keeps resources to themselves—food, ticket, secret—believing it makes them safe or powerful.

Cartoon Reveal: Show the moment when hoarding yields loneliness, reduced benefit, or loss, while sharing fosters community, returns, and relational richness.

Amos Connection (Non-Religious Interpretation) Amos warned that greed and lack of community accountability cause breakdown. Likewise, modern selfishness breaks the bonds that sustain us.

Takeaway: Without referencing church or scripture directly, the lesson stands: true strength lies in sharing—it brings connection, abundance, and respect; selfishness brings division and loss.

Call to Action: “Choose to share today—whether with a snack, a secret, a ticket, or a smile. Grow your community and grow yourself.”
