Somewhere along the way people in the “West” (no doubt heavily fueled by capitalism) started thinking of human relationships as transactions. Over the past few years I’ve seen an increasing number of individuals assess their interpersonal relationships based on what they “give and get.” Lately, under the moniker of “toxicity,” more and more individuals are looking at relationships based on small increments of interaction, much like buying or selling a small knickknack at a garage sale. The biggest fundamental problem with this approach is that human beings, INCLUDING those we don’t like, are infinitely valuable to the Universe. Every single human being has some quality or feature that makes them unique and of value to all that is.
