Reciprocation. reciprocity. balance. give and take. it does not always come in the forms we are expecting that it should, but that hardly means that it does not exist. Merely that our untrained eye has not learned to recognize all the forms it may exist in.
We have decided to keep the dog. Is that a relationship that is based on the components of justice and reciprocity? absolutely. is it a lot of work? yes.
There is a little beatnik cafe on campus that I like to frequent to write and stare out at the trees. A place I can indulge strong, badly made coffee, with vegetarian home style food. It feeds my inner poet. Would I tell them they are beatniks in this day and age? absolutely not. even though the students around me engage one another in existential conversations, while sporting edgy haircuts and long scarves with tall boots or balding no-sock-sneakers with quirky hats. Is this reciprocal relationship?
