"Did you see that?!"
Often in a vehicle I'll see something and ask my wife this question. If she answers in the negative, I sometimes feel disappointed, as if my own experience would have been more complete or fulfilling if she had also witnessed or observed what I saw.
What is it about having another witness an event that makes the event richer? When I go fishing alone I often take photographs of the fish I've caught. I know I've caught them, yet somehow I think sharing the experience with others will enrich the experience.
I once took a photograph of a bald eagle picking up a trout on a lake. Is the experience more real or more fulfilling if I share it with others? If so, why?
