The Mindset

"The Mindset of
"I-am-right-therefore-you-are-wrong" Syndrome

It is evident this I-am-right-you-are-wrong syndrome remains in vogue and its pervasive presence will be felt for a long while to come.

Can we not change the mindset a little bit, enough to enable it to say in effect:
‘I am right, but I can see that you might be right as well." AB Sulaiman

The law of reciprocity

The law of reciprocity

The law of reciprocity, which appears in every culture simply defines that when someone gives us something we feel obligated to give something back to them.

It can basically be summed up by stating the golden rule: "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.", "I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine." and "You reap what you sow."

"Relationships between people or institutions are based on exchange in which all parties have a mutual understanding of their rights and obligations. Relations between members of an immediate family or between spouses are based on obligations such as obedience or respect. Relations can be forged through gifts or personal favors and bring with them obligations and expectations. For every action, something is expected in return.
Those who do favors are highly esteemed; they are recognized as people who have respect for those around them. Every previous or current situation produces expectations for future behavior on the part of the giver and gift recipient." CoachThee.com

"Reciprocity can be both positive and negative and if you harm others, they may seek revenge or retribution." Amirah
