The Broken Chain of Reciprocation

in reciprocity •  6 years ago 

People naturally will react to you and interact with you in the same way you treat them. The way we respond is influenced directly with the content of communication we receive. Our manner and communication pattern will often imitate what is being directed our way.

A lot of problems are initiated if not thru outright hostility and injustice, than through miscommunication. This happens on the level of the construct of nation states as well. We tell ourselves we have good intentions for the world, but in our actions we are hypocritical, aggressive, dispassionate, or downright rude and insulting.

This sets of a chain of incredulity, broken promises, insults, and complete breaks of faith. It is the negative spiral that pits autocrat vs. autocrat in a cynical, spiteful, corrupt, and world devoid of big values. We are left with propaganda, hollow platitudes, marketing slogans, and never ending war of ideological and cultural campaigning signifying nothing but the struggle for raw power.

The world needs a therapist. There is a broken chain of reciprocity. We have turned to liars, oafs and brutes when all we wanted was shared prosperity and beauty.

Agreed. The problem is takers outnumber givers 10:1.
