in the head doesn't matter as even one
spoon of tar spoils the whole barrel
of honey...
Thus, before seeking for wisdom one
should eradicate all one's stupidity.

Information that contains something unique and perfect should be shared and spread. It betters one's karma, brings luck and blessings.
Not sharing information or keeping it secret form people is a sin and as is known sins are bad for karma which causes many unpleasant consequences.
That's why if a book (and anything written in it) impressed you with something new, useful or interesting, then recommend your kith and kin to read it. This book will make them better, stronger, wiser and will "add points to your own karma" and bring luck and blessings.

A family can be compared with some small business where everyone does a particular part. And it should be done in a good and workmanlike manner.
