Nothing is free, work out your own self.

[Josefjix]

Everything comes with a price and that includes the free things too, I am noticed that free things are a debt that you must pay with either your integrity or your freedom, free things are traps use by the puppeteer masters.

For a wise person free things are like sounding an alarm, it's a calling to be more cautious because they the trapped might already be set, avoid free things as possible as you can.

I'm my countr pidgin language they say, "free things dey purge"  meaning free things causes running stomach which can thereby cause you to vomit and feel sick.

It's an idiomatic expression though for many free things in life. If something are been given free, you ought to be careful and think twice before receiving it, if you joyfuly take it, it might end in bitter tears.

Be willing to pay for something you need in life, getting it free will not worth it.

[silpersurfer]

Nothing in the universe is free, God isn't even free as well, you just have to kneel down and pray to God for more guidance, it's not free brother. Whatever is free affects and give the fakest result ever.

So you mean that the air we taking in is fake because we get it for free? God has created everything for free. Praying to God we don't also need to pay it's just a free communication to God, there are things that can actually come to as free but that doesn't mean it's fake because no money was paid for it, some of the things we do pay for could also be fake.

You are wrong sir, basically it's like free because we don't have to pay anything today, but if you look further, when God tells you to kneel to him, that means you are asked to pay regardless of whatever prayer you say, he created the whole world for humans and whatever you do, you will be held accountable later when you die, that is a responsibility which means you have to do something to be said to be responsible, one of which is obeying God regardless of the blessings of this natural world.

so nothing is free right?!

Everything in life has a price and anything free should be avoided because, anything free is going against the laws that guides nature.

And what "laws" are those specifically? I need to ask, because you are purposely being so vague. Anyone can make up parables to economics for vague concepts like "free" or "cost" and try to argue that it some magical way applies to totally different kind of economy. That however doesn't prove anything.

Especially when you are looking from top of a food chain and see that there has been actually free water, free berries, free everything in nature. We have literally evolved to be fed by it for free.

And i am pretty sure you aren't talking about laws of thermodynamics, as that's hardly relevant to rest of the content you wrote.

There are principles that, guide's life, and one of such laws is the law of process and sacrifices that, I have been able to recognize. Everything in life has a price and anything free should be avoided because, anything free is going against the laws that guides nature. Free things are the once that are even the most costliest things that, can be found around. There are allot of people waiting for the right time, and opportunity to explode, especially the religious once. But not knowing that there is nothing as right time, you decide when is your right time.notthing is free every thing most have a medium of exchange before anything can be done.Just as investments you can't be talking about profits when you have not invested at the first place.

Actually nothing is free in this life, to everything there must be an exchange, even the things we think is free are not really free, sometimes people are giving something in return of there good works done previously, but to some it will appear as a free gift. But somehow it is the product of what you have done. Some things given as free gift is just a way of engaging you or to alert you about something indirectly but you may never know untill the secret is unfold.

But generally the law of nature permit each an everyone to work to get something in return, this means there is no free thing. Even if there is, it is only few.

[Nwadiche]

I think this is a mindset everyone is supposed to have , nothing good comes easily, success come with so much determination and hardwork , I don’t think there is any free thing in this life , so it’s better to have this mindset towards life , it will enable you be in check , and to also take accountability for yourself instead of waiting for manners to fall from above.

There is none, I can say that with confidence, because anything that is given for free will have some motive behind it, either the giver is getting something in return for that, or they have been sponsored by a third-party that is then getting free advertisement or something like that. We always watch videos on the internet where people are giving away free things to people in need, and are always making videos of what they are doing. Almost all of these videos have sponsors who are mentioned in the video, and that creates brand awareness for them for being mentioned in the video, and in return, someone gets something from them, so it's not basically for free.

All those people who appear in such video to receive gifts and things are being used for content, content that in return generate way more money than the creators are giving away, which means that they are not giving things away for free or from their pockets, but they are making money using those people and then giving something to them, it's like you are hired to do the video but you are not directly hired, you are not told that you are hired and you also get paid, but all of that is hidden behind the "free" label.

Even an heir must work independently. This will ensure their life continues to grow in wealth, prosperity, and power. All results are the result of their efforts. This also depends on several factors:
- The extent of their efforts
- How effective and consistent they are
- How good they are at taking chances
- How good their abilities and skills are

This is still standard practice; there are still many things to consider. If a chance is missed, it can be missed and may not come again. However, on the other hand, it will be very beneficial for anyone who at least strives to share things optimally to obtain optimal results.

[Soldroplet]

Even if you get something for free, it does not last long. Because it did not take much effort to achieve it, if you can achieve the thing for which you put effort, then the love and affection for that thing will work differently than the thing that you get for free; it will not work. This is the law of nature. In today's modern era, many people find the path to success easily, but it should always be kept in mind that personal effort is very important.
Just as if someone wins a lot of money by playing at a casino, that money does not last long, and their children cannot enjoy it. Ultimately, success does not come to them by chance but through hard work, effort, and the creation of one's own path.

There are many opportunities in the world, especially in our time of free internet. Because in the past, work made such sense to people that it was necessary to go somewhere in the local space and do something.
And now, for decades, you can earn money without leaving home at all, I can give you an example of freelance programmers. They can earn money on different websites or work remotely and at the same time order food at home, living so that they don't even have to leave their doorstep. That's why I want to say that we live in a time of opportunity, and it's up to each of us to decide what happens next.

I agree with your true statement that everything has a price. In fact, we have to pay a price for the money we earn and that price is our time, effort and skills. I myself am most of the time attracted to things that are free. Many times there is something free with different products and I myself am very attracted to all those products. To be honest, I bought a hair oil last month which came with a bottle of shampoo free. Although the price was a little high, I bought the oil because of the free product. This is basically a method or strategy of business that attracts buyers to the product.

Like the thread said, nothing is entirely free and certainly not the internet. To access the internet, we do have need of a network and that’s what you get from service providers for a cost, at least where I am from.
Also, you need gadgets of certain sophistication to be able to utilize what is made available to you by the internet.

Still, I agree that we have more opportunities in this internet age and the Gen-Z age than we had a decade ago and as a lot has being made available to us, a lot has also being taken away from us in the form of inflation.

The cost of commodities in today has far surpassed those of the early stages of industrialization and how work was being defined. In both, you still get to work on the concept of giving out something to get something back. It doesn’t have to be anything physical, your ideas, initiatives, resource and time could be all it takes but, be sure to research before diving in.

This topic reminds me of what my parents normally tells me and my friends especially my dad, he keeps advising me to work hard together with my friends that we are no longer in those days were manners keeps falling down from heaven and i must said that i was inspired by those advice he gave me, i never relent even though i don't have enough responsibility to take care of but i just want to work hard against the future because i wouldn't want a situation where i will be struggling to meet up with my expenses and my family needs so i just want everything done now that I'm still younger.

It is not entirely true that easy things do not always have value. Sometimes people can suddenly get something but keeping it depends on how they use it later, I mean it is not just getting it that is the real issue but how they use that opportunity later is also important. Suppose someone suddenly wins a lot of money in a casino. Many people may finish that money very quickly, but some can take that money as a start, If they use it wisely then that too can be useful in life. So I think the real difference is in people's mentality.

Even if I want free spins, I have to make a deposit.
Or if I want free Wi-Fi, I have to at least buy coffee at the cafe.
Even in my country, there's a Free Nutrition Meals (MBG) program. In fact, it comes from the state budget (APBN), and the APBN itself comes from taxpayers' payments, so it's not free.

Nothing is free; everything has a price, of course, in a different medium of exchange (not always money). If there's something free, let me know, I want it.

This definition seems to depend on perspective, because what we consider free can vary, including the price, which isn't just about the amount of money.

[AmaGold70]

There is something we should know, in life , remember when you did not work, there is no reward. So that what ever you achieve in life is as a result of your hard work and what people people call luck rarely play here. You can only get the gifts of nature free, like the air we breathe, the sun, and the soil and even the reward you get from the soil is through your own efforts. Like you rightly said, many people wait for opportunities, and many also wait for a set time, but it is necessary to know that these opportunities can be created , you can invest in yourself by learning good skills and acquiring knowledge. All these will bring opportunities for you instead of sitting at one place doing nothing and expecting opportunity or life to change for the better, doing such thing can only bring total failure instead of granting you financial freedom in life or making life better for you.

Actually, it's more about luck than anything else. We can't control where we are born, or the family we are born into, and that often determines what kind of life we will live. Obviously, there are exceptions, but for more than 95% of people, their lives are largely shaped by where they are born and what family they grow up in.

You gave a good example of how we are breathing for free. But if you ask someone from North Korea, they are essentially paying a price just to breathe. They have to follow the rules of a dictatorship, or they can be punished or even killed without explanation.

I used to have a more privileged view of life, that everyone has the freedom to live the way they want by default. But when I saw what's happening in North Korea, I realized that some things I took for granted are not true for everyone else.

I agree with you, equally in our own language there is a saying that cheap things always harm someone, this is always the reason why some of us don't grow in life because they don't want to take any risk, they only depend on free things that will happen in their life and their life can change positively, but in this regard there is a lot of things you have to offer because free things don't last forever. Especially the era that we are in now, a lot of things have changed to the extent that you have to bring out money for you to get a job, which means nothing is free now, in our early days we were thought that jobs are shared freely among the Citizens of the nations, but you know on our time you have to go to school, you finish and after everything you will bring out money to pay to get a job. I think it is high time we should know that we have to stand for ourselves because depending on free things destroy our career and also waste our time in life.
