I watch how the moon sits in the sky
On a dark night shining with the light from the sun
The sun doesn't give light to the moon
Assuming the moon's going to owe it one
It makes me think of how you act to me
You do favors and then rapidly
You just turn around and start asking me about
Things you want back from me
Linkin Park said this in the track 'A place for my head'.
I was thinking to myself... If the Sun did in fact one day say to the moon that the moon owes moon light to the sun, what does the moon have to give back? Answers anyone? Post comments, I will look forward to an answer.

forget about the debt and treat it as bad debt ;)
The blogger herself is posting a reply since the best answer came to her via a conversation with a dear friend.
*The friend chose to be anonymous:
Friend: when i went to college in the US, there is no way my family could afford my education coz i come from a middle class family but luckily i got a full scholarship
my academic advisor/mentor was the president of the university
one day i was over at his place for dinner and he was telling me about how his mentor did a lot for him...and said that the only way he can pay him back is by doing the same for someone else
so you pay it forward
that is the only way i can pay my mentor back by doing something for someone else
the thing with a favor/act of kindness or whatever else u may call it, is that it can never be paid back. u pay it forward
coz in that moment when u needed something they provided it and that moment never returns
so going by this example ...id say the moon definitely will not paid the sun back. but it lights up a millions hearts at night.
