Sharing.
I am still on this Life's series and you can catch up with the other posts I've made on this Life's series, for you to fully understand each topic but still, each post is self-explanatory.

Fix That Attitude: Life Is About Helping, III.
A lot of people would ask, why share? I believe giving and sharing belongs to the same category but for emphasis, I would split them so we can understand the angle I am coming from. We can give to people without holding anything back. We can give to people without having to share - giving outrightly but most people who complain they don't have enough to give can at least share what they have. Sharing as I would define it is, splitting. I don't have enough to meet my own needs but I can see someone with similar needs, then we can share what I have while I won't go completely without the things I need too.
Why do we think they said a problem shared is half solved? You are sharing it with someone who can help you bear some part of that burden and not all. Giving is to give outrightly without looking back while sharing is to give part of what you have to another. We are designed to give and if you can't give, at least, share.
There are so many things we can share to make life easier for others. We can share our experiences, our ideas, our inventions and resources, even our time. Couples don't give their bodies to each other, they share their bodies. Helping someone along the way; giving a lift is a way of sharing your car with that person. You are not giving your car but you are sharing it with someone.
We have to learn how to share because that's how we learn tolerance. A lot of people can't even share their beds with another person in need. I know @Hanzell and I once joked when she said her bed is small and when I visit her she would not share it with me. It was all joke because I know how kind she is. If I am in that desperate need, I know she won't shy from it - that's sharing.
There is no crime in sharing when you don't have the impulse to give outrightly. You are equally important just as the other person is. The more you share the more transformed on the inside you are and when you keep at it, giving becomes easy for you.
Parents have no choice but to share their lives with their children. They dedicate their time, energy and resources to making a man out of their boy and a woman out of their girl. We can't help but share some part of us for those we love because that is one of the many ways we can let them understand how much they mean to us. There is a reward when we share because it goes both ways; you feel fulfilled and the other person feels a little burden is taken off. Life is not all about you so sharing is necessary.
I would recommend this movie; "The Blind Side" it's an old movie but a true-life story of Michael Oher; the popular NFL player. Michael came from a poor background (I am having goosebumps as I am typing this. It was an emotional movie, trust me.) And despite being away from his mother who was an addict and not being close to his father before he died, he had to fend for himself. These two lovely couples saw the need to help Michael when he enrolled into their children's school. The boy was the one to first like Michael in school as he called him 'Big Mike". The girl took so long before finally liking Michael even after the parents adopted Michael.
The wife was the one that pushed for it before the husband eventually succumbed because he trusted his wife. The life of that woman changed because she shared her home with Michael. She cried her eyes out when Michael told her he had never slept in a bed before the first time she offered Michael a bed in their home. She had to ditch her high-class friends who mocked her for taking a "black boy" under her wings. That's why I said sharing would give you a better perspective because as it transforms you inside, you want to get rid of anything that threatens that transformation.
The children shared their parents with Michael just as the parents shared their home and resources with Michael, especially the mother who shared her time to be at the practice with Michael and teach him things even his coach couldn't. The husband even testified to how "different" his wife has been ever since Michael came around into their lives. When we share, we are changed into our best version since we don't want to let ourselves down and even others who depends on us. When you share, you are helping yourself just as you are helping others too. Life is about sharing and whatever you have within your capacity, learn to share.
Thank you for your time.

Sometimes, some people can't share their things with anyone while some can. Sharing is like the act of giving without not expecting any return .
