Exchange and sharing, a primitive behavior

Exchange and sharing are concepts that are not new, as the idea was born with man who initially chose a gregarious way of life that allowed him to survive. With exchange and sharing in mind, the goal is to feed oneself, reproduce, and protect the species.

Man was therefore very quickly bound by a community of destiny. This social bond of mutual commitment and dependence contributed, through common interests, to the very notion of sharing and solidarity. The barter of services today is the continuation of this community of destinies, promoting exchange and sharing.

“Hell is other people,” wrote Sartre, abbé Pierre said he was “intimately convinced of the opposite. Hell is oneself cut off from others”
But let's come back down to earth! It is not always easy, that's true, to get along with others but today, more than yesterday, how can we do without it? Exchange and sharing are therefore essential.
Even the dissatisfied, the antisocial no longer have much say. He too is part, like the others, of a community; family, work, and needs others simply to live. He must get along and ally with others to make life easier.
The crux of the matter, money? Yes, that was the case when the era of industrialization began in our Western societies. Everyone then started working for their own profit, their own enrichment. The law of the jungle, every man for himself, did not exist in the Neolithic era. Our ancestors needed others to protect and feed themselves, the very notion of “sharing” was the basis of survival and therefore of life with exchange and sharing.
