Exchange

Some may want to exchange work for food and shelter

Or one thing for another.

Some may offer someone an old thing in part exchange for a new.

Some get money in exchange for goods or services.

Sometimes there arises an exchange of insults.

Some are killed in an exchange of gunfire.

Some are on an exchange visit to somewhere.

Virus spreads through exchange of bodily fluids.  

Something thus we lose or lose to gain something else.

But exchange of ideas, courtesies or greetings double the amounts.
