Reciprocity is an intriguing (if vocally vexatious) concept:

"...reciprocity can look like art. Like advocacy. Like structural change. Like refusing to see ourselves as separate from the systems and relationships that sustain us. This shift — from transaction to responsibility — helps us reframe what it means to give, to receive, and to belong in relationship. When we understand ourselves as part of a web of relations, reciprocity becomes a way of life, not a checklist. It becomes less about immediate repayment, but about how we live in right relation across time, space, and power."
