Now that being the case, would you not say that the way you ultimately decide that you wish to treat and be treated is entirely based on the interplay between your various personal feelings and beliefs? If the way you personally felt about how much you wanted to acknowledge the feelings of others were any different, it would surely show in the way you treat with others. It is important to you that you acknowledge the feelings of others and that others acknowledge your feelings when dealing with them. Those feelings of importance are still entirely personal at their core, I believe. Though, of course, others may entirely personally feel the same way.I often have different (interpersonal) behavioral preferences than others (and not just that, I often have different preferences in all sorts of things), and in my experience, a lot of people have unique (interpersonal) behavior preferences. Not everyone wants to be treated the same way. Not everyone wants to treat others the same way... — Terrapin Station

Therefore, on the basis of what I believe about Polos and his beliefs, it seems there's a contradiction in his beliefs about how he wants to be treated: For he wants both to be punished (since he wants what is good for him, and I believe it's good for him to be punished) and to avoid punishment (since he believes being punished is harmful and not good for him, and he wants to avoid what is harmful and not good). — Cabbage Farmer
