Reciprocity

One should not try to dilute the meaning of relationship: relationship is reciprocity.
— Martin Buber, I and Thou

 We understand this concept of reciprocity in our relationship with others, the maintaining of a balanced-give–and-take, to create harmony in the relationship, a way of learning more about ourselves than we would if we were not in a relationship.

What about this reciprocal relationship with our home? What would be the balanced give-and-take? How can we learn more about ourselves through this “home relationship”?

The balanced give-and-take with the home is very similar to that in the human relationship.
