It turned out badly.
Some will say only religion teaches giving. That is not true.
Some say only parents can shape that spirit in a child. That is not true.
Some say a child is born with that tendency. Maybe, but not always.
Along with the gender discussion a need exists to talk about how we give of ourselves to each other.
The word reciprocity has a confused meaning in this World.
Don't you dare call your marriage, relationship a partnership; that is not ordained, romantic or sexy
enough for the corporate/relgionous who are partnering up pretty well btw.
Some have talked here about mandatory public service. Maybe this from a young age and coed with a goal
to improve something, not a competition.
Just my thoughts...
