Another quote from Dave Eggers on why to share, in his imitable style:
Mistakes We Knew We Were Making
© D. Eggers, Vintage Books February 2001
pg. 10
"We share things for obvious reasons: it makes us feel un-alone, it spreads the weight over a larger area, it holds the possibility of making our share lighter. And it can work either way - not simply as a pain-relief device, but in the case of not bad news but good, as a share-the-happy-things-I've-seen/lessons-I've-learned vehicle. Or as a tool for simple connectivity for its own sake, a testing of waters, a stab at engagement with a mass of strangers - one or all of the above constitutes the motivation behind everyone with a personal ad, a website, a magazine, a radio show. All good."
