Tit for tat

We play tit for tat 

For what purpose?

So we can show the other

Just how it feels

Trouble is

The tendency 

Creates more

Divided worlds

 

It's too bad though cuz there is something satisfying about seeing them feel how it feels.

You got that right. So

You got that right. So satisfying to know that they develop an empathy at least 8n some form but is the never ending cycle worth it? Well said great insight and well displayed here. Hugss

I Guess So

It is not until it gets personal and the bad words/feelings are in your ears that change happens. Not an eye for an eye. We are being killed. Tit for tat? That is a war call. I dont like what you said. i don't like you. I am going to shoot your dog. I am going to kill your children. I am going to drop a bomb on your buildings and kill three thousand of you. I am going to war on you for 60 years  and kill three million of your children.  I'm going to ... Tit for tat escalates. You are the world in microcosm. Human.

Tit for tat

I think it is a problem on any scale. Unhealthy response to issues that need healthy resolution instead.

Yes

The loss of employment required a serious response. Spats kinda wane. Someone does not be kind? Rude. If they are mental - talking and rational problem solving might help find a compromise. If just curmudgeonly stuck - my reply is, "There are seven point six billion other people on the globe.
