Treat others as you eish to be treated.

This concept (among many others) seems to have been lost on much of todays youth. Although it is also a life experience that helps one understand 'the way of things'
And everyplace is different.

*nods in agreement with what you say*

Obviously when the imbalance between how you are treated and the way you attempt to treat others is great.... it feels a little hurtful. But then I suppose it unwise to "out of your way" in some circumstances to be "especially nice". To do so sets yourself up for dissappointment(?) ... I am actually curious about your thoughts on this...

..And I very much appreciate your reply..

all true.

the especially nice thing usually is because they want something they probably can't get otherwise/elsewhere.
