 You cannot make matter out of nothing, so there can be no such thing as "free".
Everything has to carry a cost, by requiring work, otherwise we would quickly deplete the planet. 
 That's why I used the comparison with a family. You do work and create value for your family, but you don't ask your relatives moneybin return, you just do it. It's not "free" because there is no work behind it, but free because you don't pay for it, you yourself will create and give value in other way.. and since it's likely impossible since everyone should act in a way like every other humain being is so close and dear to you like your kid or your mother or grandma, that there is nothing you will make them pay for, and the same will be done by them to you. Hope i did express myself better  
 Yeah... So we agree that it's work. 
 Absolutely Yes. #YESTR 🤙
