Trading floor’s is the ground or platform on which things are exchanged for another. For trades to occur, there has to be the objects of value. The object of value becomes the assembling power of the two or more parties to come to a trading moment. Trading floors can be characterized by two things; time and location. Time and location create the atmosphere for the trades to occur. Trading floors are not only applicable in terms of monetary context. We trade everyday in our lives, in one way or the other that are not monetary based. Every choice we make where ever and whenever is transaction in itself. Whether it is the right trading choice or not is something up to the children it produces.
For example: If you decided to go out your house to go see a friend and your friend accepts your coming, it is form of trade in itself. Time and location of meet, sets the trading floor. Object of trade is love through the gesture of time which the receiving friend is willing to accept. What you the selling friend gets in turn is a place in your friend’s heart, the seal of friendship.
Also, If I decided to not pursue my daily duties as a father, what I have done from the perspective of trading floors is that, I have stopped trading with Responsibility whose offer is Fulfillment, Joy and Rest. Because to trade with Responsibility, I have to offer the value-object of sacrifice. As a result what I have in turn done, is to start a trade with Irresponsibility. Where the offer of irresponsibility is pain, regrets and chaos; and my offer to Irresponsibility being my self-centered-ness.
Having the perspective of trading floors is so important o daily living, as it, makes us weigh what we do all the time and what we are bound to get in exchange for it. Because we trade every time we a make a choice.
