Reciprocal relationships are probably the most satisfying of all, because they deepen over time and are based on trust, mutual sharing, giving and receiving, and – perhaps most important – love. In this paper, I will talk about a relationship in which I have been involved for several years, one with another young woman that began by chance and has blossomed into a friendship that continues to grow closer every day. It also is an unusual relationship in that not only did we meet by chance, but we have met in person only a few times! I also will use sources to demonstrate how giving and sharing across the human experience are so important and, if practiced by more people, would make our nation and our world a much better place.
