Reversing the flow of abundance
Mutual feelings of gratitude
Teach gratitude
Not in barter
Contracts are administered by third parties
Else they rebuke their caretakers
Obsolescence
The ancient meanings
Transforming the object into a gift
Both aspects of loving kindness
Then pay for it
The only form of transaction
Government's police power
We give gifts away
We disdain the materiality of the gift
Beholden
The degeneracy of the upper classes
Honor is more important than wealth
The flip side of shunning
Radical equality prevails
What we see others enjoying
Everyone is a stranger
Engendering gratitude
The problem of excess
Wish to come to know
The amount of leverage
Gifts want completion
To bless
The instruments of trust
Giving and receiving recapitulates lending and bor...
Meaning is a joint product
Return the marriage contract to gift exchange
Tolerance is an offering
The non-material meaning
Trafficking in dignity
Discourage market-based interactions
Push back the frontier of civil society
Emphasizing undeservedness
Difference, deferral and deference
Injury begets retribution
Re-ci and pro-ci
Compromise/forgiveness = weakness/cowardice and shame
To keep things going
Re-talion-ate
A moist garden of plenty
Better is more
A gift's vagueness
A concrete embodiment of affection
Interactions need to lack clarity
A sacrifice simulates a gift
Offerings to the gods
Impotence and helplessness before the dictates of ...
Appreciation of excellence
Six parts Egypt
Loyalty & gratitude
A species of inalienablity
Voluntary loyalty
Courtly, chivalric, and gracious
Secularization & desacrilization
An offense to the public face
A life of sanctity
From kinship to kindness
The employer of the moment
Ethics, morality, courtesy, etiquette, property, r...
De-meritocracy
Gratitude and reverence
Es gibt
Recognition, acknowledgement and appreciation
The moral memory of mankind
Memorable ... or not
Faithfulness & gratitude
The gift must disappear
Deliberate memory
Moods are more durable
Whether through gifts or with violence
The objective of satisfaction
Heart and lungs
Awe and appreciation
The color of thought
The appreciation of goodness
The forces of deservedness
Giving and receiving
In appreciation of another's goodness
No payoff matrix
The autonomy of the person
Gratitude integrates
Admiration and joy
An exercise in undeservedness
The first luxuries of abundance
The background color
Where culture meets the divine
The acknowledgement of undeservedness
Gratitude cannot be enforced
The meaning of the non-material
The transformation of value
The experience of enjoyment leads to serenity
The give and take of emotional life
The natural response to enjoyment
Feeling, appreciating and expressing gratitude
The benefit of our bounty
