Sharing [reasonably] is caring

proverbs 18:1
selfishness. its hard not to be in this society. i feel like we're taught, to a variable degree, to keep the choicest portions of opportunities and glory and other "fine, worldly things" to ourselves. we dont want someone else to lay claim to our gold. we're possessive and want it--regardless of what, exactly.

i know ive easily fallen into that maddening trap and a competitive academic atmosphere lends itself to that sort of selfishness all too easily. so i want to work on sharing :3 within reason, i would say... i will share spoils, but i will share with people who "deserve" it. i mean, im not to judge, but if someone is horrific, i probably wont share with them... i guess this is that guarded optimism against people as i meet different individuals with competing and opposite-completely-not-in-the-same-field interests. be open, cautiously. and thats how it is with research tips or whatever after you find out things and opportunities. ill apply this especially if we go to lunch together tomorrow.
