The conflict is largely over finite resources, so the focus can shift between the consumer and the resource. Different consumers use different resources, hence the notion of finding a niche that has yet to be exploited.

Clearly if the niche resource is so unappealing to others there will be no conflict, given the resource itself is not sentient and open to abuse. The caveat is that if the resource is of material design consideration has be given to it's 'lifespan' | 'sustainability' | continued existent ~ and what does it rely on for being.

Back to Sharing

There is the main material distinction of the resources taken for granted as the sunshine and the air and those that are commandeered as in shelter, water resources and food.

In the latter category, given the competition and conflict arising co-operation and sharing become a policy and a religion that people either choose to comply with or a re born within.

Still the focus here is of those who accept their position within an established coop and how sharing is seen and dealt with..

Now comes the difficulties as sharing is an individual action applied to a resource, so we invoke again the separation of consumer and resource, and it soon becomes evident that each consumer is another's resource.

To what degree is an individual able to submit themselves as a resource is dependent upon what advantages can be gained. Working communally on a bridge or a road, cultivating crops, defending the 'community' land all seem quite reasonable. However sometimes the demand is solely by another individual, which may just be a master|slave situation or the more common procreative activity of having children.

Personal exploitation, within the community, may be deemed part of the general rules or 'illegal' either may seem abusive to the individual being exploited.

The issue is what can an individual do and expect from the notion of sharing.

Again it is simple to see this as a binary system, there is the time and energy required to communally cultivate crops and the time and energy to bring a child into the community.

Again it's binary. The female has little option not just in the initial use or abuse of the body during intercourse but in feeding the unborn for some nine months. Not only does the male have no such responsibility he can even walk away from the woman and child.

So sharing from the female perspective is not the same as that from the male, hence additional 'rules' are required to balance the use of resources.

The female has to protect itself from the added burden of pregnancy.

a) the female is not a community resource and should not be forced to have children so the community can grow and survive.
b) the females body should not be used by the male to alleviate sensual pleasure without not just consent. but intellectual equivalent exchange.

In a closed community the male may make some effort to provide for the female whether pregnant or not as she will be seen as a resource. Equally community focused female can see a male as a resource.

Still where two souls reach out to share it does not include much of the above.

For example: The community is ALL
Sharing is not related to the body or me, but rather I relate to sharing and what there is too share. It will be the case that the above a material sharing is in it self a resource, the understanding off which can lead to . . . a change in consciousness, an awareness of something that cannot be shared but is given freely. This isn't a material charity but a sharing of souls, something verging on the impossible but the only valid and sustainable way to recognise the community.

The sharing of the I by the individuals is not where each takes a share of that which is infinite although this is often seen as an example of sustainability but the giving freely of the will to that which is already immortal by it's state of self sustainability.

It is unsustainable and cosmically unethical to share that which you control it is only by relinquishing the idea of control that the I can realise it's immortal being. For an individual ego to be aware of this option the mind has to encompass the wishes and desires of others without bias and gain. Brief encounters may occur during sex or upon taking certain hallucinogenic drugs as examples but they just represent models of the key much as a toy doll or car to a child.

The key is not hidden nor is the door. It is not even difficult to unlock the door but the view upon opening the door is overwhelming and most chose to close the door and throw the key into some deep subconscious mine. A few keep the key around their neck knowing they may want to have another look and try their luck, but once the knowledge that there is other than this consumer shared game it is difficult to turn back.

Using the key repeatedly is a struggle between the function of the mind focusing on the bodies comfort and it's own evolvement.
