But in its absence, you might have to face this question. If it comes down to it, are you the kind of person who will explore ways of egalitarian cooperation and accommodate others’ needs, or are you the kind of person who will blow others away and take as much for yourself as possible? In a limited resources scenario, your primal character is revealed.

“Share” has, in the big picture, SFA to do with the improvement of the lot of the planet’s poor. It is by overall betterment of economies and technologies which “lift all boats” which is responsible for the overwhelming majority of such improvement. Attempts to impose “sharing” do indeed end up with having to “make do with less” — for everyone except the enforcers.

The phony “caring” challenge you pose is delusory. Humanity is what it is, and improvement in the lot of others occurs by providing them with opportunities and removing barriers, not by handouts.
