It’s an emotion, not a transaction — Of all the things I am not very good at, exacting favors is probably dominant. I am perpetually at loss at myriads of human transactions, that I evidently failed to do. They say your inner wisdom stems from two things, number one, your retrievable experiences, and number two, social interactions…
