Do we owe other people nothing? What does your Human Design Profile tell you about what you owe the world?

I've heard a lot of discourse online lately about the new-ish therapy adage that we "don't owe anyone anything."

I was seeing that some people stood by this, while others were pushing back on the idea, saying that in order to thrive as a society, we have certain social contracts we must uphold, lest we descend into a cold, hyper-individualist civilization of weak social bonds, erosion of community, and lack of empathy and cooperation.

Honestly, I could see both sides, mostly because I was pretty sure there was some misunderstandings of what it means to "owe" people something.

For me personally, treating everyone around us with humanity and respect is important. We do owe that to everyone. And if we were conditioned from childhood to not be able to do that, it's up to us to heal and unwind our own biases and prejudices that stop us from viewing everyone equally.

However, that also doesn't mean that we have to allow everyone into our circle or have a close personal relationship with them. We don't owe everyone our time, emotional bandwidth, or energy.

As someone who has done a lot of healing work over the last 10 years, I've had to re-evaluate what relationships are healthy for me and which aren't.

And as I was considering this, I got to thinking that of course, how we interact with others and what we "owe" them will vary from person to person, just like everything!

We are unique individuals!

We want different things out of relationships!

Hmm...what in our Human Design might impact this? Well, multiple things! But Profile was the first thing that came to mind.

So, I created a short video series on the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th line Profiles and what we "owe" other people.

Technically, only the 4th, 5th, and 6th lines are "social" energies that directly interact with others. However, I wanted to include the 3rd line because otherwise my fellow 1/3s wouldn't have any guidance. And for us, even though the 3rd line might not be overtly social, it does speak to what we want out of relationships.

You can watch this series on Instagram, TikTok or YouTube shorts!
