Give and Take (Receive)

I see many people expecting something in return when they do something for someone. Returning a favor. Owing one. All these things are there as a norm. Sometimes people expect something to be done out of love. or I have to do it because I am someone to them. (like your relatives expecting a call once in a while.) Humans have made giving and taking as inseparable parts of a single process.

I mean, you should return something you owe to someone. I am not against that. Taking and not giving back is practically stealing. But, it doesn't always have to be a single process. Socially, I feel like making things obvious that you did something and telling them that they have to repay it somehow is awkward. I am going all over the place with this text.

Well, look at open source developers, they get paid in respect (unknowingly) and hate; when it comes to hate (very verbally). If they were paid back for what they did for you(Everyone), they would be too happy and also rich.

I mean, there are some things that you just give and some things that you just take. Two/From two different people. Like advices, if you are given an advice, you don't owe an advice to them. I don't have problems with exchange of things. But being entitled and expecting something from someone is what I don't like.

And the other thing is people being generous and giving a lot for a little thing they did and making people think like they owe them back now instead. I think you'll understand whom I am referring with each they/them.

Making promises for a favor is another. I will be able to do something for you in the future if you give something now. I can trust the people I am close to on this. But, strangers? Asking for vote, huh?

Where am I going with this?

1. I don't want to feel like I owe someone something and someone owes me something.
2. I don't expect something in return for some help, don't keep mentioning it.
3. I can only help if I can and also if I want to. I normally do.
4. I don't trust someone I don't trust and is unreliable. Takes twice to know.
5. If it is something I deserve I will get it and if it is something you deserve you'll too.
6. Finally, I put myself in other person's place and think for once. You should too, it doesn't hurt.
7. Really finally, I won't ask for something I think I am not qualified for or I don't know about just for my profit in it. That's something you earn, and you can't get it by asking for it.
8. There may be more that I forgot to write while writing this.
9. In other words: etc.

Best of Luck XD

I remembered this while writing this so here you go; this is how giving and receiving should feel like: :D

"We are gathered here today on this joyous occasion to celebrate the special love that Monica and Chandler share." "It is a love based on giving and receiving as well as having and sharing. And the love that they give and have is shared and received. And through this having and giving and sharing and receiving, we too can share and love and have and receive."
