I just liked this line said by someone in a comedy.
'The essence of giving is reciprocity. Thus u haven't given me a gift, u've given me an obligation.'
Not sure if it's original but I think I'll use it for th essence of my next post when I get time 2 write.
PS: I'm elated coz I managed 2 configure email on my 4ne.

Instigation
Instigate (v.) - bring about, initiate, set off, prompt, start, activate, originate
So says my thesaurus. A person asks a question to which you give and answer
You answer truthfully without any reservations
You wholly believe in what you say
You do not know that the person asking that question is trying to instigate you
They are trying to get you into action
You actually get into action because there’s now almost no way for you to back down from what you said a second ago
Of course you said whatever not knowing the intentions of the person who asked
So you answered with conviction and people actually heard you say those things and they’ve formed an opinion of how you would react given a situation close or similar to the on presented in the question
So you act
They initiated an action
Want an example to make clear this mud?
A: ah, so now since XYZ is grown up you no longer break his food into little chunks
B: actually no, we still break it into chunks so that he can eat properly. The last time someone gave XYZ un broken food he just took all of it from the plate and went under a tree to see how best to tackle the food. He ended up throwing it away as it was now unpalatable
A: So it’s CDE who’s going to feed XYZ?
B: Yes but sometimes he’s a problem as he gives XYZ food when he’s too hungry to feed properly
A:Well CDE just went out with a plate fuul of unbroken food to feed XYZ
The end.
I hope the water’s now just murky coz of the mud but clarity is better than mud.
There are people like that who\ll push you into doing something about something that you’ve been turning a blind eye to or just were not aware of
They feel that you ought to do something but they cannot say directly what they want you to do and so will get to it in a roundabout fashion
Actually for some people they’re so good at it they’ve perfected it to almost an art
But be careful who you prompt into action
They just might turn around on you and gang up with the person against whom action was meant to be directed as they would have read your intentions way before you finished laying out your plan.
Don’t say I never warned you
It’s an art akin to politics
More subtle but almost that much more destructive when used aptly.
I never said that.
