Quoting another post
I've quoted Ken Granlund of Common Sense before. He typically has such thoughtful and insightful posts. He's Friday's guest author at Bring It On and he has a wonderful post about Quid Pro Quo.
I'm quoting him here and mentioning it because the theme is that we get what we give. He's speaking from a political stance. I think we can always generalize what he is saying to other parts of our life--we do get what we put into it--however Ken writes a political blog so that's his focus. Enjoy and I hope he provokes as much thought from everyone reading this as he does for me.

I totally agree, Bonnie. What Ken said about quid pro quo in terms of politics and democracy is right on, and you're right that the ideas he shared fit into every part of our daily lives. We get what we give. I think a lot of it comes down to individualism. When taken too far, it becomes unhealthy, both for the individuals and society as a whole. Somestimes we need to stop thinking about 'me me ME!' and think a little bit about US.
Love the blog, Bonnie. Great work. :)
Cheers,
Wil
