Smile Re: Business and Budo

Reading this discussion, I am reminded of something I heard on the topic of charging for services rendered. Think of money as energy - I work and thus expend my energy. I am then paid money by my employer.

When I go for marital arts training, or indeed any other kind of service or product, I am paying for that service or product, essentially giving the "energy" of my money for the "energy" of what it took the other person to provide what they did to me.

I hope I am not being too unclear here. I sometimes hear about why people should have to pay for things like marital arts training, or an instructor's reluctance to charge more than a modest or meager fee for their services. It's all about an exchange of energy.
