On Sunday I was outside of Tirana in a trip. It was very
cold and I was so sick that I enter directly in the car without saw the condition
of the wheels. I stopped in the GAS STATION and I asked for some oil because in
the car was displayed the YELLOW LED which means that the oil was in the end.
Anyway I paid for oil and before I start driving the GAS STATION GUY told me
that I had problems with one of the wheels which needed to have more air from
compression pomp. After he resolved this problem I asked him HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
He told me: “Nothing, the air is free”. I switch on the car and start driving
again and the same time thinking wowwww “THE AIR IS THE ONLY THING THAT WE ALL
SHARE WITH EACH OTHER WITHOUT ASKING FOR COMPESSATION”. I was wondering How will
be the world if we share everything with each other? How it will be the poor people
if we share the food? In this crisis time exist hundred site and company which
share their services. But my idea is “How will the world if we share our money JJJ? Difficult
question WHO want to share their money?” As Sajmir said in one of his opinion
we all has share with our friends some small thinks, like clothes, foods, cars
etc. For this reason are friends , right ? Otherwise the friendship will have
other description. In our country the community is made very individualist,
from one time (Communism ERA) when we shared every thinkg with each other even
the SALT with our Neighbors , today to share is made more difficult. I remember
a story that my grandmother has told to me. She told me that during the war if
we didn’t share with each other was very difficult to survive. And she told me
a history about her father. During the second war in his village was crisis and
they tried to works their lands for surviving. One year his land has produce
more wheat that the other neighbors of the village. Even his field was full of
wheat He wasn’t happy. One of his neighbor goes to Him and ask “Why you are not
so happy ? Your field are full of wheat and we don’t have it?” .He told to him:
Why I should be happy when you don’t have enough wheat? Now on I will be more
poor than you because I will share all this wheat will all the village and I
can not say I don’t have wheat when everybody think that I haveJJ..:Today I have,
Tomorrow you will have..) Has my grandma told me her story was one time when people
shared their more important thing which each other’s “The FOOD”. If we make
some share every day the world we be better one day.
Now people are sharing services for having some more
features in their business .Now exists company or people which are trading, bartering,
sharing and lending for reducing the cost or increasing the number of the
customers in their business. For example I liked the idea to share based ofcourse on this book. Currently my work is in Highway and I share my car with other colleges in
morning and afternoon. This was a good idea of reducing the costs with using share method…JJ..:)J
Below I am sharing one link with you about an interesting article regarding “What is yours is mine”

I totally agree with the human need of sharing things with each other. It is a natural process for people. Your writing was full of interesting Albanian examples to illustrate the importance of collaborative consumption. I also believe that it is a very important and valuable Albanian tradition to help and share with each other. but, considering this with a whole business trend, as illustrated in the book, seems impossible to me. Even why, i believe we have the inheritance of sharing, helping, now days capitalism has its own influence in our society. Thus, to implement anykind of collaborative consumption is our land needs a huge investment, and the most important one would be in understanding how it works, benefits and costs.
YanıtlaSilErmelinda mentioned very interesting cases.
YanıtlaSilIt is interesting also another thing.When you read the book you have your own idea and your point of view.But after you read other different thoughts about the topic of the book you may change some of your ideas.This is the beauty of sharing opinion together.
Perhaps collaborative consumption more than sharing things together is a way to reduce the enormous quantity of production compare with population.
