Sharing creates possibilities, reduces barriers (- helping people to unfold their full potential), overcomes scarcity, leading to a world of abundance. (synergy)
The idea of competition (found in capitalism) has opposing tendencies attached to it: To have an advantage over your competition it makes sense to hinder each other, draining energy from the system at large.
There's not always somebody to share with and you may even pessimistically think that statistically it is improbable that anybody would ever take advantage of your offers to share. But already the openness to share something, being ready to share, living in the consciousness creates the possibility to change the world here.
Just imagine a world where you can go any place you like and join in on anything that happens there, share local structures - just imagine the abundance of possibilities! By opening your life to others, by creating interfaces for others to join in on what you are doing you can maximize possibilities for your own life, live a more social life and you can make a start in creating that world of abundance.
