When you divide a cake, each piece gets smaller. But when you communicate—when you mitteilen—you make information available and receive something back in return. In English, the verb to share captures this duality in a unique way: it refers both to dividing physical resources (like a cake) and connecting through the transmission of ideas. Sharing your inner thoughts is not a loss of substance, but a direct investment in your personality: you get closer to your core, clarify your mission, and build authentic self-respect.
