Participating in the conversation

I was reading a recent post on my Google Reader about comparing the difference between the Dead Sea and the Sea of Galilee to those who just soak in media and information and those who give back. I can't find the original, but I did come across this one. Basically, the idea is that the Sea of Galilee is one of the most fertile places on earth fed by the Jordan River, rainfall and Springs. The Dead Sea, also fed by the Jordan, is so named because of its high mineral content and that no water drains out of this lowest place on earth. The difference is that
"the Jordan River flows into the Sea of Galilee from the top and flows out the bottom. It is as if the Sea of Galilee receives and gives. The Jordan River, then, flows into the Dead Sea and never gets out. Its as if the Dead Sea receives but does not give. The Dead Sea receives and keeps and, I think, this seeming selfishness is what makes the Dead Sea, dead. On the otherhand, the seeming generosity of the Sea of Galilee is what made it the exact opposite of the Dead Sea."
I spend so much of my time learning and trying to master that I do not give back and perhaps participate in the conversation. As a teacher/learner who is an introvert, I am very content to receive and unwilling to share and give. To make this work I will try to share more of my thoughts, experiences, and connections to what is out there.
