The Value of Shared Experience

I had a dream in which I was picking coconuts, and dropped them down to a friend below, who caught them, and then we enjoyed the coconuts together. As we refreshed ourselves on sweet coconut juice and soft meat, I thought – when picking coconuts alone, the coconuts will shatter if they are thrown down. But when cooperating with someone, not only can the coconuts be harvested intact, but the experience of harvesting and and eating also shared. And then I thought that it is the sharing that is most enjoyable, since a shattered coconut tastes the same as an intact coconut.

And then I woke.
