Problems That May Go Away with Bartering
Inflation and Deflation: Without a centralized currency, the issues of inflation and deflation related to monetary supply could be minimized.
Debt Crisis: Bartering could eliminate the problem of personal and national debt, as transactions would not involve loans or interest.
Wealth Inequality: The disparity created by wealth accumulation and capital can be less pronounced, as goods and services would be exchanged directly.
Financial Fraud: The risk of fraud associated with currency, such as counterfeiting or banking scams, could decrease.
Market Speculation: Without money, the speculative behavior in financial markets might diminish, leading to more straightforward exchanges.
Benefits of Bartering Direct Value Exchange: People can directly exchange goods and services based on their perceived value, promoting fairness in transactions.
Community Building: Bartering often encourages stronger community ties, as individuals interact more and build relationships.
Resource Utilization: Unused or underutilized resources can be exchanged, leading to more efficient resource distribution.
Skill Development: Individuals may have opportunities to develop and share diverse skills as they barter services.
Simplicity: The concept of trading goods and services can be more straightforward than navigating complex monetary systems.
Self-Sufficiency: Bartering may encourage self-reliance, as people seek to produce goods and services they need.
Reduction of Consumerism: It might lead to a decrease in consumer culture, as people focus on what they truly need and can offer in exchange.
There are many more pros and cons that can be discussed. The list of problems that are solved by switching to barter are monumental. Using money for trade might be convenient but it opens up a Pandora's Box worth of problems.
Yup its quite that simple. There is a small percentage of people in this world that don't have a moral compass and selfish to the bone. Like a child who constantly says that's mine, that's mine!
This is why we can't have nice things.
Before greed (wanting more)...one chooses between need (resistance) and want (temptation).
Need cannot be held onto, which makes want the desire to posses.
Aka GIVING punishment to those wanting to TAKE more...how does that inspire letting go?
What if one cannot give another without ignoring that all was already given to each one within nature? What is nature not giving those within?
Universe aka uni (one) versus (against) implies one against another, which tempts one to ignore responding (re) to all (tion) perceivable (cogni).
These conflicts against each other about each others suggestions are called "reason"...
a) Value was (perceivable) before one can evaluate (perception) what others suggest its value is.
b) Ultimate implies "coming to an end"...which tempts one to ignore "coming into being". The former tempts towards outcome, while the latter implies ones response to origin. This is how others can turn ones mind by inverting perceivable reality with suggested fiction.
...trying to breach the ignorance of those revolving definitions during circular logic.
The need to let go isn't in conflict with the want to hold onto. It's wanting to hold onto, which establishes a conflict against not wanting to hold onto. This conflict of reason (want vs not want) implies circular logic ignoring interlinear implication.
Order implies sound; being implies chaos within order struggling to sustain self. Spelling among chaos tempts a struggle (reason) against each other, while ignoring each ones chaotic struggle (life) within all order (inception towards death).
From a different perspective...if being implies chaos within order; then a spell like "order out of chaos" inverts being.
Tikkun olam (healing the world by bringing together) implies ordering a chaotic world by putting the parts together which whole of nature sets apart during motion. Few trick many with spell-craft to hold onto words, while ignoring the motion of sound.
Many believe that holding onto definitions by belief; faith; conviction; contracts; consensus etc. represents a defense of order against chaos. Only in their mind/memory it does...the perceivable outside cannot be held onto without destroying self, and so they seek shelter mentally by holding tightly onto suggested information; brands; words; truths etc.
Nature reveals all that each one can receive...self discernment can only work within "full" nature. Choosing to ignore this establishes a lack of self discernment, which implies emptiness within self by willing de-nial (Latin nihilo; nothing) of everything perceivable.
Nature helps self discernment by setting choice free...ones desire to posses wanted tempts ones free will of choice to bind itself to the wanted, while need "passes over"...
The rite of passing over requires one to "stand-under" (understand) another...
