I definitely think the best things in life are not free. There are so many examples I can name. For one‚ every thing you want in life you have to work hard to earn it. Nothing is given to you for free. Everything in life costs you or someone else money‚ time‚ or effort. This includes all the important things in life like air‚ freedom‚ life‚ living‚ love‚ children‚ marriage‚ jobs‚ and friendships. However‚ if we consider the meaning of free‚ "without cost of any kind to anyone at any time--past

At one extreme we have the free market economy where there is a very limited role for the government. At the other end we have the command economy‚ where the government takes virtually total control. As with market structures (with perfect competition and monopoly)‚ these two extremes are highly unrealistic. Just about every economy in the world is a mix of the two‚ and is‚ therefore‚ called

In philosophy‚ free will is “the power of self-determination” (Vaughn 219). If we have free will that would mean that we are free to make decisions about our lives and our future. We can decide all kinds of things from if we are going to get out of bed in the morning to if we are going to worship God. These decisions are not just what we are going to do‚ but also what we are going to think and what we are going to believe or disbelieve.
