“Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle and the life of the candle will not be shortened.”
Hindu Prince Gautama Siddharta, the founder of Buddhism, 563-483 B.C.
Sharing is an integral part of any society. It connects cultures, communities, families, colleagues and even strangers. The virtue of sharing is one of the first interpersonal skills we teach toddlers and is a skill we continue to develop in our youth through adulthood.
When the internet became a mainstream communication tool in the 1990s, the concept of sharing grew exponentially. “As of 2009, a quarter of Earth’s population uses the services of the Internet.” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet, Aug. 2009)
The Internet is being used as the ultimate sharing resource.

The Internet allows us to share every aspect of our lives in order to make connections and stay connected.
This webpage is my effort to share with you the beauty in the modern concept of sharing. My only request is that you pass it along in an effort to continue the sharing!
