THE FAIR SHARE

Some of the stuff they drum into you as a child has no application in the adult world. There's always a lot of emphasis placed on sharing toys, sharing sweets, letting others join in your games. Always with the sharing, the getting involved.

If you can’t share you won't get any sweets. If you don't share you just won't be allowed to play. This sort of statement is commonplace among parents and teachers.

Yet as soon as you bring that mentality into the adult world you get branded a thief and an adulterer. This is why the world is so full of neurotic loners - nobody likes getting mixed signals. All that sharing when they were young messed them up for later life.
