Скачать или смотреть The Law of Reciprocity Works in Mysterious Ways

The Law of Reciprocity is a part of social capital theory and, in simple terms, it basically states that what you give/put out to the world will come back around to you in equal measure (i.e., 'what goes around comes around') and if you help others, you'll receive help in return.

The interesting thing is that the Law of Reciprocity is not always immediate and the way in which it's actually working is not always clear cut or easy to see. You may help a person in their time of need and find that your good will toward them comes back to you in the form of good will or help repaid to you from someone completely different. That's the beauty of it though . . . when you have pure intentions toward others and act positively on those intentions, life (via the Law of Reciprocity) will reward you in surprising ways (And good surprises are much more fascinating and enjoyable than being able to predict exactly how the good you do will come back to you, right?).
