Life is all about reciprocation. When you learn to reciprocate an act of love and kindness done to you, then what you have done is to create the funnel that brings about a continuous flow of your blessings.
One good turn, like it is said, deserves another. If you doubt this, when you receive a favour from someone, just fail to either reciprocate or acknowledge it and see the outcome.
We are living in a dynamic world and the human nature in us, seeks to be appreciated at all time. Just watch how you feel when someone you did a favour return back that favour with a gift or at most some deep words of kindness that appreciates you.
Don�t you feel on top of the world and would sincerely want to do more? And if it goes the other way round, how do you feel? Sad! Life is that way. We are spurred up to do more when we are appreciated be it large or little.
What makes love worth the name is when it is reciprocated. Reciprocation is what brings about appreciation. And you know what, who wants a one way traffic? Certainly none!
If you want the respect that comes with mutual understanding all you need do is to reciprocate every good tiding done to you.
