@lupyuen Complex. Could suggest you aren't benefiting from the things you create (the wealth is *only* for others) or it just means that your work benefits others. Is there a duality like that in the Chinese?
@2ck Hmmm maybe my parents weren't aware of the deeper meaning of my name...
(1) 立 means "upright" or "erect". This Chinese character is in all my brothers' names. (My sisters are named 康 for "health")
(2) 源 means "source of water" (like a well or a stream) but usually refers to "wealth".
Put them together and we get "create a source of wealth". But a "source of water" isn't meant for personal consumption, it's meant to be shared. So I take this to mean "create wealth for others" 🤔
@Vectorfield @2ck Thanks... 开源 sounds really gruesome... "Open me up!" 😂
