Reciprocity

When necessary, where possible, and because it's the right thing to do. We're living in a society here!

(that's only a rumor)

But if enough of us repeat it, it's true.

i know... i was only kidding, in my own feeble-minded way... yet... cannot help but be disappointed by the contradiction between civilization as it is advertised, and how it actually applies to humans...

Blame Madison Avenue...

("the fault, dear brutus, lies not in our stars"...etc...) fundamental design flaws, i think...

We become too impatient with ourselves. *Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.* It is a good idea. But by the time you have to invoke such a rule we are already in trouble -- and may not get ourselves out of it until things become really bad.

(you mean this isn't really bad?)

Not to cast a negative slant but I think it is an easier catchall to say, "Do not do unto others as you would not have them do unto you." Keeps better perspective IMO.

(makes sense to me... but that hardly augurs well...)

To me too, but sometimes I just think, oh, confound it all! There's just too much selfishness around for people to . . . well, reciprocate! Ha-Ha, that sounds like a swear word. I'll remember it when I get into a fight with someone . . . 'Oh, go Reciprocate yourself in hell!'

actually, that's quite a favorite hobbie of mine...

I'm not so sure . . . Reciprocity usually involves more than one person . . . Sorry, you asked for it - I could not resist!

hey..im Cat

Good Morning, Cat!

Hi, Cat! Ya feelin' lazy today?

Hi cat!

I think she must be asleep. Or reciprocating . . .

reciprocity is just another word for karma

positions included?

Not yoga, karma!! Maybe I have the wrong meaning for the word, It's possible.

You don't - I was being wicked, that's all. I'll try and be better now.
