I definitely think the previous thread was valuable!

And for what it's worth, I myself am trying to internalize the whole "indebtedness process" when it comes to the purely social stuff. Whether it's favors to friends, kindness to strangers, or what have you, I tend to feel it's something I owe MYSELF... I do it not because other people require it of me or would be upset if I didn't, but because I want to be the kind of person who helps out when someone is in need.
