Nature itself works on the principles of do ut des. At a very basic level, we release carbon dioxide; plants use carbon dioxide to photosynthesise and produce the food we need and, of course, the oxygen we breathe in order to fuel our own bodies. In turn, we release carbon dioxide, which is necessary for respiration. One could argue that ultimately all energy we use is indeed from the Sun, to which we don’t give anything back. But in terms of our own biosphere, everything is about cycles and exchange.The ancient ones believed in sacrifice and service; the ‘gods’ didn’t acquiesce free of charge. Even societies today basically work on a principle of exchange. Whether this is equitable and fair exchange is a moot point and is essentially at the root of most of the problems afflicting the world today. However, this is digressing somewhat. The point is that I think it is far from unreasonable for the BDO to request a very moderate fee in exchange for its guidance.
