RESIPROCITY!!!
This is a new word to me and that is one fact I won't deny, nobody is an island of knowledge and that means nobody knows it all and we learn everyday of our life until we can't learn anymore..

Secondly, I will say this word is not new to me, someone thinking I am playing wright???

Well I am not joking with you also, this word is not new to me because it is a derivative of another word RESIPROCATE and RESIPROCAL, that is to say if you are familiar with these two words you will easily understand what the word RESIPROCITY means and you will also understand perfectly how to use the word in a sentence fluently...

Back to the main topic of the day which is resiprocity, I have been delegating on this topic for the past three days thinking of what to write and what my focus point should be all about, seeing this you might think I don't understand the word resiprocity, I understand it perfectly but I am not really familiar with it's usage and that made me to spend more time on it until I am fully equipped on its full understanding and here I am today about to share my piece on RESIPROCITY..

When you talk about resiprocity, it means giving without loss, that is a short explanation of it, a quick one here;

When you give out something in your possession willingly, it is confirmed that you don't have that thing again but in terms of resiprocity, when you give such thing out, it surely comes back to you in one way or the other...

You might not see it now or tomorrow but you will surely get it in the future and it can be from the same person returning the favor or from another person entirely..

Let me take you on a short journey of the resiprocity in relationships, to be specific resiprocity between couples and siblings..

  RESIPROCITY BETWEEN COUPLES..

As you know for one to be called a couple, there have to be mutual feelings involved, no relationship is formed out of one sided love, the feelings has to be mutual for it to develop into relationship...

When two opposite gender decides to be in a relationship or come together as a result of love , then everything that is done single handedly before is now going to be done between the two of them...

Non of them is allowed to make a decision for the other, they have to sit down and delegate on the matter and make a conclusion on what to do and if it turns south, they will both happily bear the consequences without disagreement...

Take for example, a husband is about to take a particular step regarding a particular business he wants to invest in, he realized everything can't be done by him so he decided to go to his wife to discuss his plan with her and hear her suggestion, after doing that, they both delegated on the matter and arrived at a result together and later on it yielded good result...

Months later, the wife wanted to open a store but she doesn't know what she wants to be selling and after thinking a lot she decided to call her husband's attention to the matter, after rubbing heads together they arrived at a result of what she should sell and at the end it yielded good result...

This short story has already brought out the topic resiprocity, in what manner??

20221005_023412_0000_20221005123949.png

When the husband was having troubles he consulted his wife and his wife also consulted him when she was having difficulties too and with two heads it yielded result, the reason why the wife went to her husband was because he also came to her when he could no longer do it on his own, SHE RECIPROCATED WHAT SHE GOT from him. Short and simple...

They both could have done it their way and it would have gone south and the other will be left to blame the other for every mistake made but they didn't do that, the love they both have for each other is one example of resiprocity, they shared their burden and responsibilities together ..

That is the resiprocity between couples, resiprocity can either yield good or bad result depending on the case, you get what you do be it good or bad....

   RESIPROCITY BETWEEN SIBLINGS..

The love and bond between siblings of the same father and mother is another example of resiprocity...

Taking my real life experience for example, today I was very sad because I realized almost all my friends who did JAMB with me this year are already in school, they already gained admission into higher institution and talking to majority of them made me sad because my school hasn't even released it post Utme form not to talk more of admission...

I was sad today and I went to my status and posted something and my brother came into my private DM and told me this; why are you sad kid brother, are you working with others time, your time and their time is different and I know everything is going to work out for the better so don't panic, there is still time for you bro, at least you have the privilege to sit for jamb, what of the other people who couldn't sit for the jamb not to talk of applying to any school, so be grateful..

The above words were my brothers words to me, he further said something to me which I will share with you below;

As you can see above, why do you think he said that to me??
It was because I have done similar thing to him when he was in school and I was working, I have supported him because he is my brother, my blood, my partner and most importantly I will gain from him in the future also...

He said that because he doesn't want me to experience what he went to through in school, he promised me and I know he is going to reciprocate whatever I did for him in school in the future for me whenever I am in need also...

That is reciprocity between siblings, If I had not helped him back then, he would still help me because we are siblings but when he doesn't have, he won't go extra miles to help me get it because I did the same also to him back then...

If I had done either good or bad towards him back then, I will be having it's reward from him in the future, either way I got what I served out which is reciprocity... getting what you give out...
But most time reciprocity is all about positivity...

In summary, I have shared my brief understanding on reciprocity and I feel like I have done justice to this topic and if you think you have any contribution or opposition, feel free to slide into my comment box, I will love to make you understand better...
