Reciprocal and mutual kindness. ''Human beings should treat each other with more antipelargy.''

A mis-leading anti- prefix on this one. The kindness is also meant to be that of children taking care of parents. The babies taking care of the stork in later life, that is to say. The -pelarg part is from pelargos 'stork'.
Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.
