was tuned in recently to this fabulous and long-running psychology show on non-commercial radio, WBAI.
Dr. Dimele was alluding to how people give and expect something back, and those who take and don't give.
From this, he surmised that perhaps:
giving can be an act of hostility and
taking can be a form of love
I have been sitting on this now for a few weeks. Really got me thinking.
