François Chollet on Twitter: "I think we tend to overestimate the importance of reciprocity -- a transactional mindset -- and underestimate the power of kindness. Even the smallest acts of kindness can change lives. None of the most important things in life are transactional."

  Help others whenever you can. Don't expect anything in return -- expectations can only hurt you. If someone helps you, be grateful for it.

  Well depends on how expansive you mean transactional to be.

  Perhaps we don't even think about it. It just 'feels natural' to get something in return because the culture tells us so every day. So every non-transactional act is outstanding (literally).

  Every act of non-transactional kindness is an act of revolution.

  Expectation of reciprocity fundamentally changes the nature of interactions between entities practicing agency. Who is expected to reciprocate interactions with the inanimate? God (or whatever your chosen arbiter of unknown)? That seems like the one way culdesac we’re in.

  People, as a rule, underestimate the effect their words and actions have. A quick compliment for example — something that is small to me might make (or break) a person’s day. And the inverse is true: the thing that brightened my day was probably offhanded for the other person.
