This kinda bothers me, and I don't know whether it's just an emotional, illogical reaction or whether there are some good reasons to be bothered by it. In practice, I would imagine it's not a bad description of how most people behave most of the time. But if everyone used these criteria all the time, something is telling me the world would not be a better place. I could well be wrong.
ps. I assumed that was supposed to read "I will not yield my seat...", but I guess it's possible that it wasn't supposed to. ?
Nah, it was supposed to read "I will". Someone who demands that I yield my seat isn't likely to show gratitude when I comply.
Can't speak about the whole world, but anyone who's very prone to manipulating and being manipulated (like I was before) will benefit from adopting this strategy, and everyone around them will benefit too.
I see. That's an interesting approach. (Voted up because you're making me think. Still not at all sure I find it a good one.)
