Nothing is Free? Think Again!

I heard it again a few days ago, "nothing is free" and every cell in my body wanted to cry out, "you're very wrong about that" I heard it when I was in College from my Electronics teacher, "There's no free lunch in the universe". Well the way I see it, if there is one thing that is free then that statement is not true. And I know there is not just one, but many examples of things in this universe that are free. When you start looking for them they will be revealed everywhere. Look at families, raising children, what Grandparents do for their Grandkids, There are people in every industry that do more than is required by their pay cheque all the time. We call it love, and when it gets to the level of unconditional you'll witness lots of "free", and it has a ripple effect that is amazing.

You know what I think? I think the statement “Nothing is Free” was a made up concept that was created to promote consumerism. And it worked. When we hear something so simple being said all the time it becomes part of our belief system. We don’t even question it. And it worked very well for decades, but we are beginning to wake up now. We are questioning our beliefs, and looking more carefully at how the world is run. I for one, don’t like it. I see how “free” systems work and I like it! Free systems work more efficiently, everyone involved benefits, and there is no corruption. There is no incentive for crime. There is freedom for individuals to share, be creative, be inspiring, to be happy.

Being happy is our birthright. I believe the reason we are here is to experience life to the fullest. How can we do that in the meager little bits of time we have on weekends and evening while working our life away in a job. “Jobs”.... another dirty little word that has us hoodwinked, but I will save that topic for another day.

I appreciate all the improvements happening here at Steemit. Almost every day I see the changes. So exciting to be in on the Beginnings of Something New!
