Do you share with others?

Are you willing to share the things you have with others that do not have as much? What about food? Will you share your dinner with a stranger? What about your family? Will you take your family to a nursing home and share them with the elder that are there that have no family? What about your money? Will you give a stranger money? I think we forget to share with others what we have. It might only be a smile or a hug. What do you share?

I share with others to an extent. I share with family and I have even shared food. I have givien money to those who needed it and even to a stranger. I will quit sharing with those who take what I do share for granted. I have a friend who doesn't have tons of money so I have shared with her and her husband and even let them stay here when they didn't have the money to pay their electricity bill. I gave them food, a place to stay, water, and even drove her to class. Well they have now decided if they need money or a ride somewhere to come to me and I can't afford that. Sharing is great and being nice to others is too but only until they take it for granted.

I don't think it was until I had kids that I realized I don't share like I should. Here I was as a Mom telling my kids over and over to "take their turn" and "share." Then if asked for something - to share something - I'd catch myself saying "No!" And so I've changed a lot now that I've had kids. I'm much more conscious of when I'm unwilling to share, and I'm much more likely to make myself have a real, valid reason for not sharing. I definately share more now. I let the kids eat food I had wanted (and it's not easy giving up that last piece of chocolate cake!). I give money to more charities. Etc., etc.

I'd be happy to share anything of what little I have to the less fortunates who are needing it most.

Hello,triciaW,I think i am a person who like to share with other people if i get enough for myself. If i think i cannot finish a dish when having dinner, i will share with my friends.For family ,i will take care of them by myself,i will nto send them to nursing home. For money, if i get enough, I am happy to share with a stranger,but unfortunately, i do not have enough to share with a stranger. May be i will not have food or money to share ,but at least i would like to see people smiling,when other people are happy, i will be happy,i will be happy to share happiness with other people.
