1. l e ar n in g to s h ar e s haring is one of the first and most basic lessons we learn in life. It’s drilled into us from childhood until we are old and white-haired. “As soon as we could utter syllables, our parents taught us to share,” says Greynor Cabero, who has been teaching grade and pre-school age kids for 20 years. “In my teaching experience, very young children find this too easy. It seems to come naturally to them.” so why does it become such a hard thing to apply when we move into adulthood? Most people say they are all for sharing, but then don’t really act like they do. It could be that hard times have turned us into such pessimists that who forego it or question it. Hard times or not, there is a need to get back to the fundamental attitude of openness and sharing. Actually, it is at times like these that learning how to share becomes more important. “There is an atmosphere of sharing when you and everyone else around feels that compulsion to reach out, in different ways, to someone,” says Cabero. “An atmosphere of sharing can always be achieved through an atmosphere of love–a love that never asks nor looks. Sharing can always happen if we ourselves can love without asking.”
