My mother always reminded me to be considerate of others, especially when it came to any successful relationship. She told me it's a give and take with duties and rights on both parties. In reality, this is the essence of consideration in law. If someone gives you something, such as a promise, money, forbearance, services or the like to which you were not entitled such would constitute valid consideration. And you would need to reciprocate.
Consideration is something that has value.
It is generally defined as a benefit conferred or a detriment incurred at the behest of the other party. Consideration is more than a mere gift. More than morals. It represents a mutual interest. It is also referred to a quid pro quo , what for what, and the benefit of the bargain.
