Do you stand by Social Debt?

    I've been pondering this thought about Social Debt in my mind for a few months. I take my social debt very seriously but am wondering if it is something that is considered or really thought of in todays technology world.

    I mean... when someone does something that I really appreciate... I feel compelled that I must share the same...

    I also understand that If I do something for someone else.... they don't have to do the same for me... as they may not have the same belief...

    I guess my question is... How serious are people about their social debt?

    Respectfully.

    Varies person by person in my opinion.

    I am happy with the warm good feeling inside when you do a good deed for somebody else, however big or small.

    When somebody does something for me I get a similar warm feeling inside.

    However, when I meet, rude, ignorant, selfish people I don't get any warm feelings just a sad feeling for them and their impact on society as a whole.

    People like that have no concept of community or social debt.

    Good to hear from you SpudNik...

    For myself.. I find that if someone does something for me... when I really need it... like bring me a load of wood for the winter... I tend to carry that debt inside me.. until I can thank them properly with something in return...
