Life isn't for free.

It's sad, but it's true. Perhaps minor details are for free, but the most part of our life has a cost. I wonder, Why does life have a cost? and I don't mean money wise, I mean even emotional wise and body wise. We're born; we have life insurance, we get sick or hurt; we have health insurance, we even have to pay for our fucking death! -all that was money wise, to broaden our view in that first- someone we don't even know well has our life in their hands, they are there to pick up our debt and then, they are gone, they/he/she don't care if we where happy with what we did in life, or what we had succeeded, they just want our money and that's it, they're gone "Great, you're about to die, I need you to pay up so that you can have a spot at a cemetery or else..." It's horrid that that is our world. I wonder now, do they own our souls to or are  our souls spared?

All what I just said was to prove a point in a material way. Look how insane man kind has gotten.

Now, non material aspects...
For example, you fractured your arm in some point of your life, you supposedly healed -say's the doctor- but then, years and years later you realize that that area is affecting you someway again, not letting you do what you need to do, your own body builds up a personal account, you have debts to pay.
How about a stronger example, say... love?
I'm guessing love is one of the biggest collectors of life, everyone searches for it, absolutely everyone. It's a part of us to want affection, wether it's human affection or animal affection, we need it. How many of you guys has had a broken heart? Everyone. Let's use one of the classic phrases: I will make him/her pay for what he's/she's done. There we go, do I need to say more?

Ok, let's not get all super depressed, maybe just one more example. Friendship. Sound familiar? We've all been in the phases where someone said to someone "I don't want to be your friend anymore" or "I don't want you to be my friend anymore", for the receiver is always harder to accept the consequence, always, because receivers always have the idea that they are doing their best to give what they have available. It's a world of give and take, people, and there's nothing we can do about it.

So, I guess some of you guys already figured out what are the free things in life, but those that still don't know I'd say they are the minor details of our life, that being: laughing moments with someone, with whom ever, no one will ever charge for a smile, a real smile, a real laughter. No one can take that away. It is simply the greatest joy of life it's self. Don't you feel free when you laugh uncontrollably? Like there are no limits what so ever in that. It's an explosion of joy inside out.

There's other stuff that are for free, but for me, the biggest and greatest thing that is for free in life is joy.

My final thoughts are...
Don't take life too seriously, even though there is horrid corruption all around us, and even though our body will ask us to pay up eventually, just admire what you are capable of having for free: laughter.
Laugh as many times you can, laugh when you really feel like it, even if your alone, who cares?! Fuck all the other loones that don't know how to laugh out of the blue.

Sorry for posting such a brief subject, but that's all I had in hand and also an apology for not posting on Wednesday.
