Happiness, sadness, fear and sharing

Whether we are too happy, too sad, or too angry, we always feel better when sharing these emotions. 

We regain our balance by discharging the excess, failing to do so harms us in more than one way.
Fear turns us into hoarders. We lose trust in our  ability to provide for the future.

We accumulate 'stuff' to quiet down our tormented mind. We readily forget that, by sharing, as is the case for happiness and sadness, we cultivate a reciprocity system that promotes a spirit of mutual exchange within which people respond to positive actions with similar positive actions, creating cooperation.

Hoarding in all its forms, mild or chronic, creates a never-ending cycle of disquietude and brooding. 

With time more "what ifs" emerge, inciting us to hoard more and share less.
We lose our ability to enjoy life, and we cling to anything that would promise salvation from life's vicissitudes.
A golf player's body knows exactly how hard to hit the ball taking into account the wind and the nature of the course. 

The same applies to our existence, from eating, to exercising, to bying goods. 

Our body tells us when an extra bite will cause us to get sick, when an extra set in the gym will hurt our body. 

We get the same message when buying an extra watch to add to our collection, or when buying an extra pack of biscuits fearing that the supermarket will run out of our favorite snack.

We choose to ignore these messages and we worry about tomorrow, about the day after tomorrow, we worry about next year and the next decade. 

We readily forget that the concept of time only exists in our collective imagination.

Sharing in the spirit of reciprocity and cooperation is a major key in our well-being and serenety.
