On Reciprocity.



Usually, we feel guilty for taking more than we give. If we do not feel guilty, others may insist that we should. Yet too much of life is wasted in trying to maintain the ideal of fairness.

When I ask for attention, I do look to TAKE more attention, but what I GIVE in return is whatever it is that one might pay attention to. Most situations are thus reciprocal. This renders Guilt usually obsolete as a motivator. What we avoid usually is a new opportunity for a new arrangement.

Dm.A.A.
