The Best Things in Life are Not Free Anymore
1. The best things in life are not free anymore:
There is a famous old song saying “The Best Things in Life are Free”. Nevertheless, does that saying hold well in today’s world. The stage which humankind has reached, the statement is fast loosing its value.
What were considered the best things in life earlier, may not hold the same position now. The changing scenario has made us believe that the best things in life come with a price tag. And we are not talking about materialistic possessions alone, but even simple and natural things like fresh air and water.
Yes, it is true that some of the best things in life cannot be bought, but that doesn’t mean they’re free. Let’s take a look at how even the most simple and beautiful things come at a cost today.
2. Countrysides are fast disappearing in the name of industrialization:
One of the best things in life is the peace and tranquility which comes from being away from the hustle and bustle of city life. However, this is something which is slowly being taken away from us as industrialization takes over various parts of the countrysides.
The serene landscapes and picturesque scenery are being replaced by factories and tall buildings. In order to get even a glimpse of such natural beauty, we now have to travel far away from our homes and into remote areas which are still untouched by modernization.
3. To enjoy the serene view of nature we travel to national parks, forest reserves or resorts built to provide excellent views:
In order to catch a glimpse of what nature has to offer, we often visit places like national parks, forest reserves or resorts which have been built specifically for providing excellent views. However, in order to gain entry into such places, we have to shell out a considerable amount of money.
The entrance fees charged by these places are quite high and sometimes beyond the reach of many people. Moreover, even after paying these high prices, we often have to jostle with crowds in order to get a clear view of what we came to see in the first place.
4. However, in the process we end up paying a fortune for the rights to admission:
It can be said without a doubt that some of the best things in life are not free anymore. We need to pay for what was quite naturally free: the sight of nature.
While earlier we could simply step outside our door and be greeted by the sight of pristine white snow or lush green fields, now we need to travel long distances and pay heavy fees for something which should be available to us naturally.
However, it is not anymore… anymore.

The sad truth is that even the most simple and beautiful things in life come at a cost today. We need to pay for what was quite naturally free: the sight of nature.
