- Shared Meaning
There's not always somebody to share with, and you are right thinking that other people could take advantages on you when you are ready to share something. You should moderate your sharings. Just mind that tending and living in the consciousness of being open to share creates the possibility to change (y)our world from the moment you let that spread it in yourself.
By opening your life to others, by creating spaces for others to join in on what you are doing you can maximize development possibilities for your own doings. We could experience a more social life by adding (y)our bit(s) for a more abundant enjoying than the way proposed by the the capitalist scarcitism logic, which is just an appeal to fear fallacy.
