We Are A Religion of History

Are you envious because I am generous?
The last should be first and the first should be last. 

Our modern societies are all built on a system of transaction, 
an economy of transactions, if you would.
You do X and I will give you Y;
if you do X minus two, I will either give you Y
or I will give you Y minus two.
It is a very transactional mindset and it works for labor. 
You work for this many hours, 
I will pay you at this rate for this many hours. 
It also works for goods. 
We buy and we sell goods. 
This is $50 and I expect you get this. 
And if there is something wrong with this, I want my $50 back. 
It is a very transactional mindset
and most of our economies are like this.
