i have heard this line from a song that I love and it is so true. sometimes we get tired of paying for everything that getting them for free is like heaven. Right now I am getting free wifi in a mall that is near us and I am so happy to surf the net for free. although where I am sitting at is not so comfortable but so what I still get to enjoy doing things I love on the internet. what do you think guys?

Walking in the countryside and seeing the splendid views can be fantastic and cost nothing. I adore doing that and even more I love to walk along the coastline. There I can see the pier, islands and Wales across the other side of the ocean. I really like taking my two dogs out for walks in my local neighborhood.
Taking my kids to a park to play is free so it taking them to the beach to play in the sand. Today I went with my kids to a place called Hop Skip and Jump. We really had a fantastic time. They had a white room, a black room, a games room, an art room and a soft play room. Today was too rainy for any of the kids to play outside.

Hi,
Well, it depends upon what is best in one's life, like a few years back when I have no means of livelihood, I often go hungry and how I wish to have the best food from the simplest ingredients. It turns out the best ingredients are quite expensive and I have to spend a lot of effort to acquire them myself, such as the fresh seafoods or beef with vegetables.
For a deprived person, the best things in life are not always free, they come at a cost, oftentimes at the cost of an arm or a leg to get them.

You are absolutely right! It feels good to receive something just for free. Many companies offer one of their products free with another. For them it is a marketing strategy and for consumer it is a free gift or say lottery.
I have never used free wifi, but have read in newspapers and articles that one should be careful while using internet through free wifi as their system can get hacked. Hope you face none of such difficulties. Have a safe surfing!

Best things are for free? This depends on what you find the best. I don't think it's for free since most things in this world are not for free anymore.
Internet is not for free, at least not over here or in the countries I have been. You have to pay for it plus you need a computer which is not for free either.
The wind, sun, water, ground.. it's all not for free anymore in many countries.. it all belongs to the governments or is property of some people.
Good health is not for free, a good doctor isn't, knowledge you have to pay for.. society made an educations, article out of everything and if you want something you have to pay for it.

Hi katrinapaz,
Indeed it is!
But I'm not getting a free wifi here as we are paying for its service
At work I can enjoy the free wifi and out in the malls and restaurants. And soon I heard there will be free wifi in bus stations too. But I have subscribe to a service so as to be online 24/7 without the need of wifi when I'm outside. For me it isn't free... but I'm happy that I can sometimes get freebies elsewhere.

Absolutely right and I am so happy to agree with you on this
Many years back,we went to Seoul, South Korea for holiday. While we are
at 'free and easy' for 4 hours in the city, we are asked to meet up at
a meeting point. While waiting for the bus, one of the donut outlet are
giving free donuts to promote their new outlet. One gentleman from our same
tour got it and inform us to get them too. Wow...the hot and fluffy donut
is exceptionally delicious especially in the cold winter. So I told this
gentleman that this donut is like heaven! Then he said, free things are
always very nice

Free wifi is great. I pay for my dsl service at home. I don't mind because the internet allows me to work at home. I wish more things were free or eliminated from our budget. Like taxes on food and clothing. Water should be free also because its a natural resource that no man can lay claim to.

Well,yes.Some things are for free sometimes,like your Wi-Fi there.
But I suggest you focus on other things that are free.Like hope.Hope is free.You can hope for the best anytime,anywhere,with anyone,and nothing will smack your head for being optimistic.It's just as free to thank someone for something he/she does for you.I doesn't hurt,it isn't rude,it's just plain human.And it's free.
