description About
To have received from one, to whom we think ourselves equal, greater benefits than there is hope to requite, disposeth a man to counterfeit love, but really secret hatred, and puts a man into the estate of a desperate debtor that, in declining sighsight of his creditor, tacitly wishes him there where he might never see him more. For benefits oblige; and obligation is thraldom; and unrequitable obligation, perpetual thraldom; which is to one\'s equal, hateful.
--Leviathan XI
