I like to imagine the really good old days when bartering was the only way to go…..the days when life was truly an adventure, every single day! But I will make a distinction for what I am going to propose. You see, most (if not all) of us have too much of something, and that “something” is needed by someone else. It may be, warmth, caring, kindness…..or it may be some form of skill or expertise……or it may be passion, timely humour, maybe even physical strength, or an array of other people type resources. And yes, the list could obviously include money or property or material goods.
The list is long. The lineup for those in need is longer……much longer.
What do I propose? That if we have excess of any of these, we should share them with others. And what should we expect in return? Well, we could go the bartering route, but why not be different, and just give them away? What a wonderful possibility? Imagine how we would all benefit if this was the new way?
And don’t get me wrong……many of you are already practicing this way of life. Good for you! You can proudly pronounce yourself as a new wave barterer, one who trades “good for nothing”…….if you get my drift.
