Unilateral relationships are one-sided and do not constitute appropriate social bonds. I think that there is no happiness in such encounters. My conception of friendship is rooted in reciprocal accountability which is a prerequisite to pleasure and happiness. Notably, those who care for me in my time of need and those who receive my help on rainy days of their lives contract a relationship which is reciprocated, respectful, honest, and loyal. Surly, this give and take business warms up my heart and brings me the highest pleasure.

Giving others the freedom to be stupid is one of the most important and hardest steps to take in spiritual progress. Conveniently the opportunity to take that step is all around us every day.
I think many people believe the best way they can help others is to criticize them, to give them the benefit of their 'wisdom.' I disagree. The best way to help people is to see the best in them.

Happiness is baking cookies. Happiness is giving them away. And serving them, and eating them, talking about them, reading and writing about them, thinking about them, and sharing them with you.
Gratitude is a virtue disposing the mind to an inward sense and an outward acknowledgment of a benefit received, together with a readiness to return the same, or the like, as occasions of the doer of it shall require, and the abilities of the receiver extend to. He who receives a good turn, should never forget it: he who does one, should never remember it.
