    Importance of reciprocation in friendship

    Friendship is a very important thing in the lives of people. It not only provides company to the individual but is a great source of energy, making a life full of fun and frolic. A person enjoys much in the company of friends and there cannot be a better informal atmosphere than that.

    It often happens in friendship that people help each other in various ways and reciprocate each other's gestures and actions. Both sides have to understand the crucial fact that reciprocation is necessary for keeping the friendship cordial and alive for a long time.

    A one-sided friendship cannot last long. It is imperative to reciprocate every help that our friends provide to us. What do you think about this? Do you reciprocate well with your friends? Please share your views.

    I think reciprocation is important not only in friendship but also in other relations. When we go to a friend he will receive us with a lot of happiness and a smile on his face and spend his valuable time with us. We also should do the same thing when he comes to see us. That speaks about the sincerity of the individual.
    There is a proverb in Telugu which means What will you give when I come to your house and what will you bring when you come to my house. This attitude is selfish and in such cases, friendship may not last long I feel. One should always follow the give-and-take policy only. Then only the individual can maintain good relations.
    One of my friends used to make money on a loan basis from other friends but never used to repay. Eventhough he had money he never gave any loan to others even if the need of the other person was genuine. All his friends started keeping him at a distance. Such behaviour will never allow us to grow friendships.

    Reciprocation plays an important role in nurturing our relationship - be it demonstrated at home or otherwise. Our behaviour is such that it reflects the same human - values which would be soothing to the other parties. A courteous behaviour costs nothing but pays a great dividend ultimately.
    One might consider this virtue as a theoretical framework but it is not like that always. Maintaing an excellent relationship with others and being successful in our practical life needs a lot of patience and farsightedness to remain ahead of others. It might be tricky initially but with a little practice, we can win the hearts of even stubborn personalities.

    Reciprocation is an important one in any situation and to any person though the other person expects or not. A parent do all facilities to their child in all age levels without expecting anything but it is a mandatory to the child to care the parents till their lifetime.
    Many people I am seeing when somebody says good morning , they just nodded their heads but not even waving hands.
    Even to school going children they are liking only if they are appreciating when they show their cards or star in notebooks.
    A wife or mother is expecting whether her cooking is tasty or not and if we are reciprocating with either appreciation or telling the mistake in the cooking, their face get shrunk.
    Visiting the houses of elderly relatives at a frequent times creates a good bondage and even pleasance in them.

    Good points contributed by the members to my post. I also believe that reciprocation is an essential element between the people in our day to day lives. It is not only applicable for the materialistic things but is also required in day to day behaviour. We must behave in a cordial way with others especially who are kind and gentle to us. Exchange of good gestures is also a type of reciprocation.

    Reciprocation is an important element in nurturing the bond between the two. We come across several occasions when we need to offer a positive comment for their commendable performance in the different activities. A positive comment will make them happy whereas any suggestion for improvement might disappoint them.
    Nonetheless, we should ensure that no comment is to be made which could hurt them. I have seen my wife paying her full attention to make the dish tasty but by mistake, she forgot to add salt. She asked me how the same recipe tasted. I reciprocated with a smiling face saying that she was my genuine well-wisher and not to add more salt as suggested by the physician. However, a little more cannot be bad either. Believe me, she was smiling.

    Friendship itself is characterized by automatic mutual reciprocation. If there is no reciprocation, then it is not friendship, but just a familiarity. Reciprocation need not be exactly equal or similar in quality and quantity and can be varied forms.
    In fact friendship is a feeling which does not start by expecting anything . It starts by nil expectation, but stays bound only with reciprocation. Friendship is bond cemented by mutual affection and acceptance. It does not have any other parameters or minimum qualification. Reciprocation is just voluntary and definitely not a quid pro quo, but a natural involuntary extension of supplementary or complimentary response and reaction based on the other's need.

    Very truly said by the author, it is right that friendship cannot be one-sided. Two people become friends when they feel a connection, whether they have the same interests or even opposite ones. One of my closest friends is completely different from me. Our thought process is never similar in many ways, but we both respect each other's opinions and never cross paths. This is how I believe two people connect when they find each other best to share something, to discuss something, and also when it comes to advice, they give priority. I believe friendship is the best relationship people share in the world.
