Some time ago I read the book "Braiding Sweetgrass" from Robin Wall #Kimmerer. She writes a lot about #reciprocity. How humans shouldn't only take things from #nature, but also give something back.
I love that idea, but I'm not sure how to do this.
So since a couple of days, I try to think about ways of giving nature something back every day. But it's difficult.
Today I collected some garbage in the neighbourhood.
Does someone else have some ideas?

Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmer

Robin writes of her life as an ecologist and a native American. Her appreciation for plants and animals blends scientific rigor with spiritual connection and stewardship. The book is a memoir of her attempts to reconcile science, capitalism, and her native understanding of our world. The other living beings around us have so much to teach, and we have a responsibility to learn.

"Do you think that the Earth loves you back?" Robin Wall Kimmerer asks this question in her 2013 book, BRAIDING SWEETGRASS.

I paused in my re-read and thought about her question. From a scientific perspective, this might seem like a ridiculous, or pointless, question. But consider the third law of motion, and from there ponder whether there could also be a third law of emotion?...

A quotation from Confucius:

«««««
Adept Kung said: “I do nothing to others that I wouldn’t want done to me.”
“That’s something you haven’t quite mastered, Kung,” the Master replied.
[子貢曰、我不欲人之加諸我也、吾亦欲無加諸人。
子曰、賜也、非爾所及也。]

“True intimacy is a maelstrom of contradictory emotions: love and hate, attraction and repulsion, excitement and boredom.” (Esther Perel)

Bull. Shit.

This statement is an example of normalizing narcissistic, borderline, histrionic and psychopathic pathology. To put it bluntly, NORMALIZING NARCISSISM NORMALIZES ABUSE.

True emotional and sexual #intimacy, if nurtured and protected, can be deep, mutually satisfying and abiding. Intimacy grows gradually over time as two people come to know, understand, respect, trust and appreciate each other. True intimacy isn’t found in the intense, instant, projection-riddled, #LoveBombing seduction typical of relationships with a #narcissist, #borderline, #histrionic or #psychopath.

True intimacy requires #reciprocity, #trust, #EmotionalAttunement, #EmotionalDepth and the ability to be #vulnerable (as oppose to weaponizing a partner’s vulnerabilities).

This is why many #NPD, #BPD, #HPD and other emotionally immature people call you their soulmate on Monday, and post selfies with their newest soulmate on Thursday. It’s why they rapidly oscillate between love and hate, admiration and contempt, etc. While their emotions are intense, they’re also remarkably shallow (i.e., superficial).

Intimacy requires two adults capable of emotional constancy. Not an adult toddler with wonky object constancy whose regard for you changes on a dime.

A maelstrom (i.e., a situation or state of confused movement or violent turmoil) in which one or both partners swing between love and hate, attraction and repulsion, excitement and boredom doesn’t facilitate true intimacy. Not only is this kind of emotional and psychological instability incompatible with true intimacy; it destroys it.

It isn’t advisable to trust, much less attach, to someone whose love and respect for you is volatile, changeable and, thus, meaningless.

It would be very easy to just require #reciprocity

As long as #China does not allow a US operated "tiktok" in China, the US should not allow a #CCP operated #tiktok in the USA.

(BTW the #CCP operated tiktok is not even allowed in China)

@unfossil

The US has no tight to ban #tiktok in another country. However, every democracy should demand #reciprocity for their businesses or disallow them to operate in their country and disallow any operation that has solely the goal to undermine its own society and democracy.

#Tiktok is like a ballistic nuclear missile that instead of using kinetic destruction uses #disinformation and creates #dissent to destroy a country. #China is #imperialistic in this case

@unfossil

How do you think #CCP members would treat people who are not Chinese? They would not even allow them to do business in #China without creating a joined venture controlled through majority by the Chinese business partner and unlimited transferal of all #intellectualproperty .

According to Chinese law #tiktok would be #banned (actually it is banned in China) and would be owned by a Chinese owner. We should demand #reciprocity

Time to remove all tools of hostile #authoritarian states from free world networks. They should never have been allowed to enter in the first place.

I am a big fan of Do ut des. I follow you, you follow me. And vice versa. That is how fediverse works.
Just sayin'. 🙂

My latest - chapter introducing "locacede"... in the context of rewilding, at least. #commons #land #Title #nature #reciprocity #gratitude #life

Quite the lovely read. Take the time to savour this one.

"To become enlivened means to inhabit your #aliveness through relationship. Of course, we are alive right now, but many of us are not inhabiting our lives, nor are we relating through any sense of #reciprocity.”
