exchange [Theme]

- What is magic to me in comparison with you? What is eternity versus the opportunity to live life with your loved ones? It's not even an equal exchange. If it turns out this way, then I will owe fate much more than I give.

Cash has the property of immediate, direct exchange for any other asset with zero exchange costs. Cash is a completely liquid asset.

Human psychology will continue to establish a balanced relationship with the environment. When the external world is too complex and cannot be changed, the heart adapts to it and accepts it. It looks like a pumpkin crushed with iron. The inside of the pumpkin will continue to harden and become as hard as wood. If a person is imprisoned and loses all his personal freedom, and if he feels that his life is under threat, he gradually gives up his dignity for survival and pleases his captors in exchange for resources for survival.

- Fair. Thank you. It was nice to chat.

You may ask how this situation came about. What were the advantages of using slave labor compared to the labor of free people? I'll explain now. In the past, during the Republic, whenever the Romans conquered a region of Italy, they took part of the land for themselves and populated it with Roman colonists. They expected these colonies to become garrison towns (military camps). But as a result of the fighting, a lot of land was left empty and unused. This happened because its owners were either killed or fled as part of the defeated armies. The Senate declared that anyone who wanted to farm the land could do so in exchange for payment of 10% of the annual grain harvest and 20% of the fruit harvest. The goal was to increase the population of Italy, which would produce more food for the cities and also supply Rome with soldiers in time of war.

- Damn you, McCandless!

I'm really a lousy writer. I don’t even sign photos on Instagram because I’m stupid. You know, if you see a laconic and witty comment on a picture on my profile, I probably paid my sister for it. Or pleaded with her friends, like, “Just write something, please. I'll give you this dress in exchange for a signature." Barter system and all that.

Ming Ye, you are impartial and exemplary. You are the perfect god. But you have to understand, this is not some kind of deal. Not everything in this world can be fairly valued or equally exchanged.

Giving something of equal value in return...

An ingenious invention in the form of military awards. This ancient trick allows any power to make a very profitable exchange. A person gives the regime hearing, sight, years or limbs, and in return receives ... a shiny plaque. As a rule, the victim of such fraud is very glad that he was fooled, and is proud of the symbol of his stupidity.

That in exchange for yourself you took everything from me.

nor does he listen to the Voice from above.

... He was well aware of cases when families reached such a degree of despair that they chose separation and slavery in exchange for a chance to survive. he knew all about the sale of allotments, when poor tenants were forced to leave the land that had belonged to their ancestors for several hundred years, about the dire poverty and hunger that reigned in the cities, about the unbearable life that ordinary Scots dragged out in those years. However, reading in books and seeing with your own eyes are completely different things.
