Why Sharing Matters ||10% Beneficiary to @steem-nations

We should start practicing good habits from childhood, and one of those good habits is sharing our things. Well, if I talk about myself, I might be someone who never had this habit at all.

Even in my teenage years, I was the kind of person who wouldn’t share my things with others because I felt they wouldn’t take care of them as safely and carefully as I would. So, sharing with cousins was out of the question I wouldn’t even share my things with my own sisters.

I had a habit of never sharing gifts, even with my sisters. I had a lot of watches that I’d received as gifts because I didn’t wear them, so they just sat there unused. One day, my older sister asked me if she could have one of those watches, but I flat out refused saying, "Sorry, I can't give it it’s a gift." I think I was so naïve back then.

I didn’t understand that things are meant to be shared and that material things aren’t really important they’re here today, gone tomorrow.

My older sister and I always disagreed on this because she thought I was really bad at sharing, which is not a good thing. She would say that giving things to others doesn’t reduce what you have, and I would always respond, “Yes, but giving things does make them wear out!” Haha.

But a person doesn't stay the same forever; there comes a time when they start moving toward maturity and understand things better, letting go of material attachments. Maybe I’ve reached that point too. And do you know how it happened? It was because of my younger sister...

Whenever she came to me and asked, "Sister, please give me this; I'll return it," there was something about her that I just couldn’t say no to. I always ended up saying yes. That’s when I realized that sharing things isn’t actually that hard, and I wondered why I used to make such a big deal out of it.

Slowly, I’ve started adopting this habit. Now, I have a habit of sharing everything clothes, shoes, abayas, scarves, food, drinks, dresses, and all. And with my younger sister, it’s reached the point where, for food, we split it 50-50, but even from my 50% share, she takes half of that too! Haha. And honestly, I don’t mind it at all.

Now, I’ve developed this habit so well that even if I’m with friends and have just a small snack, I’ll still share it with everyone.

I think the credit for this change in me goes entirely to my dad, who always used to tell me to share things. Many parts of my life that have led me toward maturity are thanks to him.

I believe good parenting is so important in teaching kids to share from a young age. Well, that’s a small thought for today

thank you
