The Greatest Sin in Life

I had this thought randomly a couple of days ago and i have no clue why, but somehow my brain asked itself the question: What is the greatest sin in life living amongst people of this world? And then I realized the following.

The greatest sin in life, is not murdering, raping, or some other physically obscene crime. The greatest sin in life is withholding wisdom attained by a person, because unlike a physical crime where whatever you do only hurts relatively one or few persons, when you withhold wisdom you harm everyone in the process because you withheld something that could have helped everyone.

Because you chose to withold something that could have solved many problems of the world, and by witholding this wisdom you continued to allow those problems to exist. Therefore, the greatest sin a person could do in their life is not share the wisdom they attained in their lifetime.
