The Principle of Sharing

October 9, 2010

“I want to share something with you today. I want to talk about the principle of sharing. It is the basis and basic principle of human existence. Sharing brings you the experience of joy.”

“Our parents shared their love for us to be here.”

“Your mother shared her body with you for nine months…”

Well, maybe not wealth, that’s a sensitive subject, but to share love, that’s something greater and worthier.

I was touched by the speech. Even more so by the effort to influence in a positive way and to share joy and love given the platform. Because he didn’t need to do so. In a time when many others would choose to do otherwise and concentrate on themselves. 

Given the platform, I hope to do it the same way. Because there is something greater and beyond the everyday, what we see and do, than just a job.

    Sharing our timeby giving a listening ear, sharing a meal, sharing opinion when solicited, sharing of money to meet the needs especially if it is urgent but not to meet the “want”which may not be necessary

    … if everything is balance, sharing can be a fantastic event of our lives…tha happiness of the one who share what he/she has is more than the happiness of the receiver.

    Happiness shared is doubled, troubled shared halves the pain….so let us SHARE.

    It’s better to give than to receive. =) that is how kindness is spread. Not expecting anything in return. A note of appreciation is gift. Altruism certainty brings joy. Though I wish the good deed do-ers have a better balance of give and take. And definitely don’t want to know if the receiver forgot them.
    As long as there isn’t a “what do you want from me” attitude.
    Maybe kind people are more emo. “Emotional” because they are more in touch with feelings, they cry easily, laugh easily, etc. Emo people are just born like that, unchangeable.

    Many childhood lessons that we practice so very often when we’re younger are sometimes sadly forgotten when we grow up to be adults. We learn to share toys, the playground, our lunchbox when we’re young, yet we can’t seem to apply it when we grow older.

    It makes me wonder why. Do we truly grow up?
    Just a thought that sprang up when I read your post ;)

    Thank you for sharing, lighen my heart alittle but still aching.

    I stumbled upon this article and stirred me internally alot….I have been most troubled since Oct last year…..about sharing. I have refused to share, refused to support and refused to love, if I had it was most defensive and most selfish! This someone I refused to share left with a broken heart…..but the moment he left I realized I loved him……

    Its one year now. I cannot open my heart and share …..

    what should I do? any opinions? go look him up?
    does anyone deserve a 2nd chance?

    Elvin, I like to share this saying with you :

    “For those who believe, no proof is necessary.
    For those who don’t believe, no proof is possible.”

    Cheers, have an upbeat week ahead!

    Teng teng, how far do you have to go in order to find this person? Any other means to contact him, eg via email? At times, its ok to share, but with the right person. If you think he is the one, go for it. Dont live with regrets. This is my personal opinion, purely for ur reference only.

    Wealth is important but not everything.Happiness and Family is something that money cant brought.
    Sharing Precious Time with loved ones is priceless
    because tmw is promised to no one.

    Live Life with no regrets…

    Interesting perspective.

  23. weelee, on October 12th, 2010 at 12:06 pm said:

    To be able to share is a great thing. but to be able to share selflessly; keeping in mind not of the benefits that these sharing will earn u, but knowing that u will not receive anything in return, i think that’s the greatest :) However, not many will be able to part with what they have, if they know that it does not bring about any benefits (even in the slightest way, for example, the recognition obtained for the effort put in).
    thanks for this thought-invoking post.

    aw.. for this.. what more than just to really agree with you.
    but sad to say and is suprise that I got to know people who do not understand that. i really wonder how it is possible as well.
    perhase, he is taugh to be selfish.. those yourself comes first kinda teaching.

    most people knows sharing. theres another word that myself think is very improtant to be in a person.. [Appreciative]
    i learn it from the person who don’t share.

    Love = Sharing = Appreciative = Acceptant. haha.. thats my little formula for love.

    Elvin, will you feel sad that Jesseca is not under Mediacorp though she is back in acting again?

    hope you doesn’t get yourself fall sick due to the change of weather recently?

    Elvin, learning singing & dancing, is it tiring? do you enjoy learning them? :)
