     Some  people's  lives center around courting personal
favors.    They  expect to be courted and expect to  court
others.    The focus of their lives is  courtship.    They
trade  favors like merchants trade goods.   They  remember
favors  granted,   and  expect that their favors  will  be
remembered.     They  assess  others  in  terms  of  their
potential for courtship relationships.  People who are not
disposed  to courtship are not respected.   One chooses as
friends and acquaintances only those disposes to  exchange
personal favors.

     People  who  insist  upon  the rule of law  are  very
troublesome.    They  just will not play by the  rules  of
courtship.  They have no manners.   They will not remember
and honor a personal debt incurred by accepting a favor in
the  past.    They will not promise to pay for  a  current
favor with a future favor in  return---making excuses with
words about laws that must not be broken.  Who are they to
talk about laws, they have no honer.   It is they who will
not make and keep honorable promises about the exchange of
favors.  Such people are not trustworthy or reliable.   It
is  best not to  try  to  do business with them.   You can
never be sure what they will do.

     Such  sentiments  are characteristic of  manipulative
people  who  have chosen  between the manipulative rule of
persons, and the manipulative  rule of  law---because they
are  not familiar with the non-manipulative  love  of real
persons who transcend loyalty to persons and law.  They do
not court favors  as  commodities  for trade,  but give of
themselves  generously  in dialogue  without  counting the
cost or gain.  They court personal relationships unbounded
by quantitative considerations.
