They say "the best things in life are free."
And to be totally honest, that's been my experience for the most part.
Free = the best!
Free sex, free booze, free food....And I'm happy.
Seriously, if we stop and consider that our lives were not earned, that our lives are a gift, we might put this perpetual question into some rational or spiritual perspective.
But people will always be asking the question: "What's best for low cost?" It's just human nature to keep asking that question. And often, you will find that it does not matter how experienced, how educated, or how intelligent the person asking this form of question is...this is because *every* human being has asked it at one time or another and will continue to ask it in the future. As I said, it's simply human nature.
Since we have all been given the gift of life for free, we might be able to arrive at an appropriate attitude during the holiday season. I know I will try, I may not get there all the time, but I'm gonna at least try.
Best wishes to all.
