favors or privileges

if you help someone

What you're talking about doesn't sound like duty.

Regardless, you haven't explained why you believe reciprocity is a duty.

These are not easy questions for the average person to answer, and I'm woefully average. I'm going to take the lazy approach and refer you to a real philosopher. Look up Peter Singer. If you have further questions, then I'd recommend starting from the ground up in a philosophy 101 course, maybe sprinkle some religious studies in there, and don't forget eastern philosophy/religion. That should bring you up to speed.

LOL that's very presumptuous.

Sooo... do you think you don't have any duty to your fellow humans?

You didn't answer my question.
