Sharing

You people share.

Advice on which super depressing (yet brilliant) movie to watch this weekend. You share midday runs. Food.  Stories. Fears. Cameras when one runs out of battery. Ideas. 

Many of the things listed above fall into the category of things one would expect in an office setting, but, in a form unlike many other places, you courageously find a deeper way to share. Embarrassing moments. Profound goals. Nervous habits. Deeply-personal admissions. You also share the things you worry about. The things that don't feel right to you. You are not afraid to share and it brings an infinite about of light to this place. 

You people share. And to some extent, pleasure has no relish unless we share it (thank you, Virginia Woolf). When the time is right, it is worth sharing. It feels good. People feel cherished and at times, challenged. But it is better than living an unbalanced life of too much introspection. And that is something you people have figured out: the healthy mix of human self-reflection with the willingness to externally observe & share. 

"Think about what you alone know that no one else does. That one neat wonderful profound insight. It is fully yours. No one else on this planet of about six billion people understands it like you do. Now, see if you can share it with someone. Bestow it, a gift of yourself." Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration
