It is nice to get something for free. Most of the people on this world pulls out their hands for something that someone decided to give them (without considering at the same time what was really happened).
If you get something for free it does not mean that the donor just conjured it up or found it on the street. This person had to create it or spent his/her own money to buy it (sponsor it). This person has devoted his own time and resources for you (in the name of some stupid idea: fame, gratitude, the good of humanity or something else). If someone would like to try to sum the value of this "dedication", it would… No wait… Most of the people don't "waste" their time for such trivial thing as estimation of someone's else work…
Most of the people comes with a simple assumption: "I take if they give". A very carefree attitude. And very comfortable. Why wonder : Why did we get something from someone ? Why wonder whether this person deserves the thanks or compensation.
There is no time for it... They are preoccupied with themselves. Some go even further. Their approach can be summarized in few words: "I take it because I deserve it, because the world was created for me and my pleasure. I am the one to whom it should be, and those who want something from me are just: robbers, greedy criminals and thieves. Let all of them will go to hell.".
Unfortunately, I have to disappoint you. For each of the items received we all will pay one way or another. So better sooner or later. We do not have to pay the money, if we do not want. We can do something else. This may be a good word (good but sincere word), creating something else in return, do something for the good of the others. Life is not a single person's performance and others are not the background of our life. They all are a part of us and we are a part of them. I am talking about the unity.
The program I have written is a repayment to the world for freeware programs I use.
The question I want to ask is simple. How did you repay the world for things you get for free ? Did you payed or donated the author ? Did you watched and clicked some stupid advertisement to support the author's site ? Did you say a good word about the author or his/her work ? Did you help him/her somehow ? Did you get involved in something for the good of the others ?
If you answered NO for all of the questions think about it now. There is nothing for free. And do not believe otherwise. We all must pay. Better now than later.
