Are the best things in life free but cost the most?

Answer 1

I think that would depend on what you mean by "cost." Many of the best things, including oneself, require nurturing & understanding, compromise. I don't believe these are costs, do you?

Answer 2

Cant really say;ur Q doesnt make sense!

We all need and are therefore taught to use money;
So why would our parents teach us the value of it,if the
best things in life are free?
It could be that as we get older,even if we luckily get very
much older,then money becomes rather irrelevant;in
so much that we then might have cancer,or heart disease
(from too little exercise) or diabetes(from too little exercise
and a poor diet)and these may lead us to the conclusion
that we have little time left;little time left to earn enough to
ensure that "we are provided-for in our old age"!
And for all you young people reading this and (only)possibly
worried about these sort of facts;Dont be,for i dont know
much;i never did,and,to be frank and honest,at this time of
the night my mind is not too focussed on this rather general
-and in most peoples opinion(i presume),rather boring-
question. So i wont bore you further with my problem of a
pet horse that has been burned,that would here be too
trivial for words.

Answer 3

Yeah, love. Love is one of the best things in life, at a cost. You can sacrafice so much to love someone or something, in the end you might get the love that you wanted or you might be betrayed. There are other things such as friendship, family, trust, the list goes on and on. But the one thing that I think is the best thing that is free is life. There is no price that you can pay to buy a life. It doesn't cost anything because, without life, because you only get one and you can't buy another one.

Answer 4

The best things in life are free, they only cost the most when you lose them.

Answer 5

I shall never, never buy that premise.
It's interesting how (some) people will immediately come up with the most cynical views.
Her love was the best thing that ever happened to me, & I didn't have to buy it BUT when she broke up with me, I PAID with heartache & sleepless nights
Someone gave me a car I needed badly to go to work, & the first week was great, BUT then I had to PAY for a brake job & new tires
The best things in my life are my children BUT they COST to feed & clothe
Are we talking about "reality" here, or has anyone even thought of the myriad of beautiful things in life, for which we pay NO price, monetary or emotional? I won't give a litany of all the things, since no one seems to be on "that path." NO. We don't have to "give something up for everything [we] gain." Nor do I think this concept has anything to do with consumerism, or the way we're brought up. The individual has to have the capacity to see, hear, smell, taste, feel, so very much--I ponder why they don't...

Answer 6

The best things in life, though free, are the hardest to get and more hesitantly given away. Love to top it all requires a LOT of self sacrifice and endurance to win it. One has to prove worthy of it before he can have it. So with happiness; everyone is entitled to it,..and yet for one reason or another, it's seems unreachable as one staggers to get himself out of loneliness.
What's the true logic of this? Will we ever know that all the best things we can ever have are those that deserve our genuine desires. Or do we just prefer or go forth for the easiest buys,..the material possessions in lieu of affection... which in the long run will just make us feel empty inside?

Answer 7

Sometimes. Like HEALTH. It is one of THE BEST THING IN LIFE. Unless you were born handicapped, it is FREE comes with life, but if you don't handle it properly, it could COST you your life, and I assume your life is the most expensive of all.

Answer 8

Yes, in a way. My marriage, and my children bring me the greatest joy and the joy they bring me is free. However, mouths need feeding, bodies need clothed, and minds need educated (my husband's at the moment). Not to mention the hospital bills from the delivery, and then the reg. doctor appt.s there after.
Financially speaking we're in the poor house, but I wouldn't trade my life for any millionaires. I love my husband, and I love my babies. I love my mom living with us in our tiny rented home. I love our stinky little mutt (that costs us plenty of money,too). I love my faith. I may have bouts of envy when a Honda Odyssey is in front of me while driving our old van, but it's far out weighed by all the joys in my life. My closet may not be filled to the brim with all the newest trends,and shoes and what not, but my children always have a full belly, clothes to wear, and loving arms to hold them when they fall.

Answer 9

The best things in life are free but really hard to get. A simple example is the oxygen we breathe. It is really difficult to capture oxygen and the cost of one tank of oxygen is not cheap. Moreover, it is even more difficult to produce oxygen, dont you agree?

Answer 10

I have always been taught that nothing in life was free. and it hasn't let me down yet.We got a "free" 1/2 acre of land,decided to put a doublewide on it,no problems right? Yeah right!!! Had to pay back taxes on 7 acres of land because ours was at one time part of that(the year before). So yeah nothing is free.
