(Over?)compensation.

it may seem strange but i always believe for whatever you do, whoever you meet, some kind of balance with other things/people/your surroundings must be made-

if your friend is the world's most talkative person, then, for the benefit of a good dynamic, you should become the world's best listener; if you've loved too much in the past, you should learn to be loved more in future; If you've taken something from nature, (one way or another) then you should do your part to help to conserve or restore parts of it that have been damaged or taken away; if you've always been predictable and obedient, then you should experience being a wildchild for a while; if you used to eat meat a lot in the past, to the point of feeling like a car(read: cownivore)nivore, then you should experience a period of meat-void; if you've been lazy with keeping your pearly whites clean as a child, then you should keep up the effort to brush them as a bored adult.

things like that.
