What's interesting is that while you can give without seeming to get anything in return, example of helping someone and then leaving before being thanked or what not. You still have the internal knowledge that you helped and made a difference, no matter how small. That tiny bit of knowledge, a self pat on the back, is STILL a form of return...

We may not notice it, but that principle is applicable any time and anywhere. It can be applied on economics, love, whatever.

There are some people who consider simple things that as "gifts in return", like the smiles flashed on those people's faces. When they helped someone and they smiled, it melts the heart of the kind person. Even if the person in need doesn't have a complete set of teeth? Probably, yes. Either, coincidently, the generous individual is feeling emo and he/she needs a good laugh or it doesn't matter to him or her if the smile is not that perfect. A simple smile is enough for him/her.

Wait... Am I making sense?

hi Euri! how're you? It's odd... that very same principle is my windows startup sound (Al's voice). haha... all the FMA love... I believe people always seek to maximize their utility... even when giving... so yeah, it isn't exactly right to say that when you give you don't ask for anything in return... happy holidays..

[...] Check it out! While looking through the blogosphere we stumbled on an interesting post today.Here’s a quick excerptI never believed it when someone says, “I do not expect something in return.” because when you give something, that same law applies. When you gave someone a gift for the holiday season, you are expecting something from that person in … [...]

Read Adam Smith.

"How selfish soever man may be supposed, there are evidently some principles in his nature, which interest him in the fortune of others, and render their happiness necessary to him, though he derives nothing from it except the pleasure of seeing it." - Adam Smith, The Wealth Of Nations

Neat. That was a nice way of relating it to this Christmas season. I love giving out gifts on Christmas, and I have this sickness where I only buy a gift if I'm so sure that the person will definitely like it. (quite redundant) ...in return, the gratitude and smiles make up for it. HeeHee

So sorry if I haven't dropping by. I've been hesitating... if I should even leave my trail around here. It has been months and I still haven't bought the skull figures from you. I am really sorry.

The Equivalent Trade Principle is actually a life principle as well as a principle actual alchemist applies.

Are you a FMA fan? Although it's true that actual alchemist also believes in the law of equivalent trade, I I still love how they tried to use that principle in FMA. Especially when the Philosopher's Stone, at the end of the series left both of them alive. I think, the Philosopher's stone also left Ed's father alive so that he could attain for all what he had done before his body rot entirely.

Full Metal Alchemist. :eek: I guess the line "I do not expect something in return" is cliche in love. But then in y opinion, it's more of like, "It'll be cool if you'll give something in return but if not, well, it's still okay." People are unconsciously aware of the Equivalent Trade.
