Expectation (demand) is always a cause of suffering.
Rather than "expecting" to be repaid
when we "loan" something to someone,

Request that any "loan" that we make be repaid FORWARD,
when the recipient is able,
and then completely forget about the "loan."
It is no longer our business if, when, or how
the "loan" is repaid - or is not repaid.

This is the heart of a gentle invitation to personal responsibility.

a heightened sense of community.
It draws our chins up and

Every compassionate act makes large the world.
