The Perfect Transaction 1

Lets do away with mickey mouse money, dollars, euros, pounds and have-you-nots, and go back to simpler times, when usurers were crucified.
Torah, Bible and Qu'ran insist that money should consist of honest weights and measures of gold and silver, such as shown here in the Islamic Gold Dinar and Silver Dirham, the only legal money under Islamic Law.

Politics aside, the symbols are obvious: Gold is the Superior, the Godly, the Sun, Silver is the Inferior, the Earthly, the Moon. Gold is worth more than Silver anywhere in the world, no matter what micky mouse money your local branch of the banking cartel issues, so lets level and talk gold and silver. for clarity.
The perfect transaction.
Just what is that?
Imagine you have You and the Other, in a transaction. Every interaction is a transaction, there is a give and take in every relationship, so this is not at all limited to money, tis is about investments and returns, of any kind, between you and whatever person, institution or part of the universe you transact with.
What is the perfect transaction?
Imagine, You give the Other a Silver, and the other derives benefit of it as a Silver. Well, nice but, thats it. If the Silver was Gold and the benefit the other derives is also Gold, the same applies, just in greater measure. Nice, but, no cigar.
Imagine You give the Other Gold, but the other derives benefit thereof that is lesser than the cost for you to give it, so you give Gold and the Other derives a benefit of Silver. No, not good. You have just given the Other a bottle of single malt whiskey and he used it to fire up his cheese fondue burner. Thats all wrong.
Now picture that you give the Other something small, Silver, but the return he gets on it is Gold, in other words, (s)he derives something big out of your small investment. That in itself is great.
There is such a thing as reciprocality. If you give to another, you incur a deficit which incurs a debt in the other. They may not feel that way, but in the balance of the universe, it is so, because energy that gets put out or is received must be compensated.
Turning the scenario around, it becomes clear:
The perfect transaction is one where You give the Other Silver, which they can turn into Gold, and they reciprocate you with something that is Silver to them but which will yield Gold to you - a mutual small investment that yields mutual great yields.
Your transaction partner now is more affluent, thanks to you, and more inclined to do bigger business with you, and you too have become enriched to the level that you can do this bigger business.
This clearly is a superior business model to screwing your business partner for everything (s)he has and discarding them once depleted.
Gaining stronger allies is superior to gaining empoverished resentful business partners.
Who'll get richer, the one who turns the others into resentful slaves of his personal plantation who must be coerced to cooperate with what little they have left, or the one who raises the others into affluent, grateful, high level business partners who readily reciprocate to mutual benefit?
Look at these two business models.
I'm not just talking money, I'm also talking friendship and love.
If you mooch off the other, will you get as far as mutually favoring each other to greater benefit?
The exchange of small favors that have big positive consequences for the other is crucial for greatest success, in love and business.
Think about it.

If its a benevolent share, and you intend to share it whole, go right ahead, no attribution necessary.

I say we bring back mercantilism, and then also use barter and trade of physical goods instead of a currency. I'll trade you 15 pounds of carrots for a butchered chicken.

"The perfect transaction is one where You give the Other Silver, which they can turn into Gold, and they reciprocate you with something that is Silver to them but which will yield Gold to you - a mutual small investment that yields mutual great yields."
I would take the above as the essence of what you are saying?

Thats the essence of the elaborate metaphor yes, I chose the silver/gold metaphor because it resonates with some of my spiritual posts.

What's the difference? Men will charge 2 silver for a gold and take that gold and get 3 silvers for it. The concept would be corrupted inherently, through nature.
