3:09pm 2-7-12I remember looking into the bathroom mirror after a light tiffy with my parents about something petty. Perhaps it was about a ski trip or something along those lines. For the sake of this argument, lets just say it was about a ski trip. The physical act of skiing is "free". Every step along the way costs money.
- hats
- gloves
- ski suit
- helmut
- skis/re-waxed
- etc...
Not to mention it costs money to buy gas to even travel to the slopes. Even food (which should come from the ground naturally) is costly.
I looked around the bathroom in attempt to find something entirely free. Toothbrush- there was a price-tag right on it...next. Washcloth- even though the wash cloth predated me, it was purchased at some point. The only way that wash cloth would be entirely free would be if somebody made the fabric with their own two hands. Even then the person would have to had purchased the thread. No? Okay so I already had the sheep, trimmed his coat and spun the thread. At some point, one would have had to trade something (monetary exchange or trade of great substantial value) for the sheep. Perhaps this sheep was found in a meadow someplace and some ancestor took it into farm-tended captivity. How unrealistic is that? NOTHING is free. We are all forced by a socio-political structure to act as robots. I play my part and you play yours. Ho anthropos phusei politikon zoon.
