Yes, for ones own satisfaction or the collective.
If you are talking about people, well…if you do things with expectations, keep a tit for tat score and then feel resentful and bitter if you don’t get a ‘return’, whatever that means to you, from profuse gratitude, recognition or ego strokes…well…then that’s codependent behavior.
It makes ME happy, inspite of all the hard work to keep my little micro-farm in good shape, my animals happy, the ‘payback’ is a happy, beautiful little oasis in the midst of a crazy world. :-)
