What is service?

What is free of charge?

What is give and take?

What about intellectual property?

In the service, when it comes to service, everything seems to become free of charge, the line of give-and-take would become ambiguous.

In fact, for most of the people, it's not easy to practice in a graceful manner, including myself. Sometimes we just over-estimate ourselves.

Often, the giver gives, but doesn't fully release what he give away, in the back of mind, he still cares something.

For the receiver, because it's under the name of service, would think it's "should" , and take for granted. So it's hard to treasure the gift he receives.

Thing's getting worse is, when it comes to a piece of creative work. There involved the intellectual property.

At first, the giver said, I want to provide help and service, here is the desigh, you may consider to take it and use it, free.

The receiver initially declined for some reasons. But, shortly after, pick up and re-introduced with a little revisions.

The giver sees it, feels unhappy. Some atmosphere un-resolved linger after that.

It's a good example for all of us.

For the giver, he didn't draw the line clearly, what is he willing to give, what's not. He didn't set the line and rule to take care of himself. He over-estimated his generosity, and service spirit.

For the receiver, he takes advantage of the service, abuse the service spirit, steal the idea of the original person. Even the giver wants to give away, he still need to be acknowledged for the efforts and brain work he made. That's the politeness at least. Isn't it? Not to mention the receiver re-introduced for commercial use. ($25000. The giver can take care of his family.)

We've all seen the kids play toys together, at first, they are happy and have fun, and then, they fight, cry, and argue who posses the toy. At this moment, judge need to show up and guide, clarify something, and set the rule for next time. And little by little, everybody in this circle evolves into higher order.

I see there is a severe imbalance and collapse between give-and-take in this case, and I can sense the discomfort of the author.

The negative expression of service is hypocrisy.

To think that what I was misled into endorsing sales of KF and its Doctors. Here I sit in a $25,000 USD replication of my work. Not one lousy cent was sent to m⋯⋯e or my child.

I was personally appalled that I could not feel a thing in such an Overwhelmingly Priced Replication of my own Creation.

I keep this in mind as the questions come in on how to take my ideas from me to sell them.
I forgive you, but I pity you too.
