In life, you may have encountered such benefactors. They help you without ever asking for anything in return. Perhaps it's because they see their former selves in you. So you always want to give them what you consider the most important things as a form of gratitude and repayment. It's like a child giving their favorite toy to an adult. To the child, it's the most precious thing; but to the adult, it may not be what they truly need. In fact, true reciprocation doesn't necessarily mean giving the other person what you cherish most, but rather giving them what they genuinely need. Sometimes, that act of giving back is, in fact, the continuous growth and becoming a better version of yourself.
