| Today, we mourn for the passing of our beloved friend, Sharing, who has been with us for many years. Noone knows for sure how he died, but we all know that his health deteriorated rapidly when everyone started to neglect him. Sharing lived by simple principles, such as sharing your food with those who are hungry and sharing your knowledge with others who have doubts. Sharing's health started to suffer when he was infected with arrogance. People cease to help others who are in need when pride sets in. They feel that their ideas are superior to others' and they feel that there is no need to share their knowledge with others as they assume that they are always right. Sharing finally gave up the ghost when selfishness invades peoples' heart. Classroom discussions becomes a 1 student(or group) to teacher conversation.When these students ask questions during class discussions, they do not bother speak in an appropriate volume so that the whole class can hear his doubt. In fact, when they raise issues regarding the topic of dicussion in class, they fail to realise the existence of others classmates as they only limit the discussion (ie. by speaking softly) to the teacher and themselves. Sharing was preceded in death by his parents, Consideration and Helpfulness; his wife,Selflessness and his daughter, Compassion. Not many attended his funeral as very few realised that he was gone.
