Sache Dil Se

Sache man se kuchh chaaho toh .

This dialog from DDLJ used to pique me. To achieve or get

something, was a good intention all that was required?

And the road to hell is paved... We all know that. 

Then how come "sache man" is accepted as adequate or good currency for barter?

Some of us use our skills or what we produce as currency for barter. And we think THAT is necessary and sufficient for the barter.

Others think that intentions and feelings are essential for the barter. And that skills or production are secondary and consequent to the intention. 

If one person places his exceptional feelings and intentions while the other person expects something tangible and won't accept anything else, we have an issue. It's like bringing a football to a gunfight. 

Offerings without packaging (emotions and intentions) aren't accepted by feelers. Emotions and feelings without something tangible aren't accepted by thinkers. 

For one sided people, I mean those that can to one end of the spectrum or the other, it's essential to realize that without collateral, emotions (towards feelers) or something tangible (towards thinkers), the other party is going to place little value on the former's offering.
