Sharing is caring they say.
But do they really understand what true caring entails?
I think not.
For the caring that they think they know,
is not true caring.
It is merely caring for caring's sake.
It is yet another way,
to make themselves feel good.
Now if something terribly serious is on the line,
sure, go ahead and share whatever that is needed from the moment.
But something tells me,
your Mind is realist enough to grasp the kind
of sharing I imply in this context.
Yes.
The kind of sharing I imply here,
is one which is ubiquitous,
one that is so prevalent in the many sayings floating around the mainstream society,
that every single mind out there,
cannot help but think of sharing,
no matter the case of abundance or superfluity they encounter,
or how remote their situation is from one where they hear that voice say...
"go ahead, share, for sharing always makes things merrier!"
But ...
... is it not always the same in the end?
Is it not,
like it has happened countless times before ...
that,
that which appears clearly,
to be the medication or an instant painkiller,
ends up not just causing a new disease,
but masking a much more serious one?
Yes ...
The Truth about this thing called sharing,
is that it is not just a mind-full parasite,
that will infect one with yet another societal ailment,
but something that will bar them yet again,
from realizing the ability to see,
why they are where they are.
...
Some will attribute their default and almost innate propensity to "share and care",
to various different societal and mainstream things.
Things like,
their culture or values,
their empathy or good nature,
their responsibility,
their morality or righteousness,
their...
...
(Excuses are endless are they not?)
...
After you have stopped fuming at
me calling things which you have been living by,
a derogatory thing called "excuse",
I will say earnestly,
dear friend,
while I completely understand where you are coming from,
you must realize that whatever you say "in defense",
will fall on ears that have heard too much,
and for I have seen too much.
So I will ask again,
What are they, if not excuses?
Let us start with culture first.
Culture is the result of years and years of "beliefs"
and "customs" that get lived and lived over so many times,
that they get hammered deep into one's mind.
The nucleus and the "reach" of such a belief,
is so well-formed and powerful,
that no matter what rational explanation or Truth I provide,
will not "make sense" over what one thinks they know.
Unless such a person has a visceral reason
to see past this internal "black hole" of a belief,
they will continue to fume over what I said.
...
What about empathy or "good nature"?
Well, what is empathy?
Society defines it as one's ability to understand the feelings of another.
But you tell me,
unless you are truly able to UNDERSTAND your circumstantial feelings,
i.e. why or when you feel what you feel,
will you every truly understand someone else's feelings?
Will you not precisely do the opposite and end up "rinse and repeat"ing?
Yes, you will.
You will put your-Self in their situation (which in this case is probably one of need),
then "feel bad" about it,
and "decide" you must do your best for them?
But tell me again,
are you really doing any good TO THEM?
Are you not just doing good to your imagination of their situation?
Are you not just making yourself feel good?
Do not be so fast to nod, dear friend,
for these matters are serious ones,
and an instant answer would imply my words penetrated NOT.
...
I could keep going with all other excuses above ...
... but I will instead propose this ...
... What use would it be?
For the root of all such excuses is one and only one thing ...
... one's inability to UNDERSTAND the source of such reasons.
Because they do not dig deep enough,
why to them,
"sharing is caring".
And so continue to "share" they will,
and in the process,
never ever truly care.
Thank you
