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

It is estimated that approximately one percent of the general population are psychopaths.The psychopaths have higher IQs on average than the general population. They know how to charm and manipulate and they are interested only in their own gain. They are impulsive, self-destructive and they are cold hearted. They had no regard for the feelings and welfare of others and they lack fundamental understanding of what things are.

One doesn’t have to look far to find examples of this kind of characters.

The basic stories are pretty the same as it was years ago. Most of the old stories are re-cast in modern settings and the stories were all based on the same source material. Sometimes the old stories are being looked from new angles and with a new twist. The bottom line, however, is the same old stories

"There are no facts, only interpretations." Friedrich Nietzsche

"History is a selective interpretation of events designed to justify those currently in power. Memory is the same thing on an individual scale." Unknown

"The most terrible fight is not when there is one opinion against another, the most terrible is when two men say the same thing -- and fight about the interpretation, and this interpretation involves a difference of quality." Soren Kierkegaard

"Necessity is not an established fact, but rather an interpretation." Friedrich Nietzsche

"All meanings, we know, depend on the key of interpretation." George Eliot

"We should know what our convictions are, and stand for them. Upon one's own philosophy, conscious or unconscious, depends one's ultimate interpretation of facts. Therefore it is wise to be as clear as possible about one's subjective principles. As the man is, so will be his ultimate truth." Carl Jung

"No emotional crisis is wholly the product of outward circumstances. These may precipitate it. But what turns an objective situation into a subjectively critical one is the interpretation the individual puts upon it -- the meaning it has in his emotional economy; the way it affects his self-image." Bonaro Overstreet

"Language is a process of free creation; its laws and principles are fixed, but the manner in which the principles of generation are used is free and infinitely varied. Even the interpretation and use of words involves a process of free creation." Noam Chomsky

"All human knowledge takes the form of interpretation." Walter Benjamin

"Taste has no system and no proofs." Susan Sontag

"The truth is balance. However the opposite of truth, which is unbalance, may not be a lie." Susan Sontag
