"Retribution"
I wonder how many people in this world live by the retribution system.
"If someone does you a favor, if possible you should return it."
This system can be extended for every kind of situation.
If someone offer you something, sometime you should offer back.
If someone gave you a lift, you should try to return it someday.
If someone shared a secret, you also should share one.
Even in bad things.
If someone hurt you, you deserve to hurt one back.
But nice people try to avoid using this system for the bad side.
"If someone hurt you, try to forgive, and hope that your kindness is rewarded."
Many people respect that, but most try to take advantage of it.
On the other side there are those who avoid being included in this system. Those who do no like to have a debt of gratitude with others. These people are those who avoid accepting an offer, a favor, help or admitting they could use aid from another.
These people, of great pride, only result to others when they have no other solution or when they feel like they won't need to return the favor.
I may not be impartial this time, but I really feel troubled by people full of pride. I think they are hurting themselves and people who care for them.
But I guess it is better than being a mean, or a vindictive person.
But for all that matters, retribution is one way to help each other.
And good is made by those who help.
