Quid pro quo

Do ut des, salt for seeds, dollars for hours, tit for tat, scratch my back and I'lll scratch yours. Hume noted that private property, while not a natural right, is a necessity due to the scarcity of goods. The natural extension of this is the barter of goods and services. Barabing, barabang - capitalism.

I have embraced this concept and learned it does not just apply to salt and seeds, but to all aspects of life.


Theoretically, hypothetically, let's say I'm at the park with Peti Bacsi. Let's say that I push him on the hinta.


He will then help me out on the hinta springy thingy. It's a beautiful thing.
