"No such thing as a free lunch", the philosophy of economics. The platform of the rule is that everything has some price whether it be currency or opportunity cost ( what was given up for something else). For example, you want to spend one hundred dollars on tickets to a concert but the opportunity cost is spending time with your friends and/or family.
I believe that the economist who founded this rule probably had no friends due to the amount of time he spent over anaylizing life and economics. What would provoke a person to dig so deep into life that go as far as to decide that nothing in the world is free. The air we breathe is free. That very well could be the end of the arguement.
While with the exeptions of few things is very much a true statement. The statement is also one embedded with negativity from start to finish. The idea that everything that is done is done at a cost portrays the idea that with everything you do you loose whether small or big. This rule digs for the negative effect in the decisions we make.
This rule tries to hard to make sense of something that does not need sense to be made of it. The rule is forcefull. It does not look at us individually but the universe as a whole. The fact that everything cost something is such a simple idea. However, when push comes to shove much of life is priceless.
By everything in the world costing something the best things in life are no longer free. Also, college is no longer a good investment. Because the by attenting college in a quest to gain a higher education you spend in the range of 75,000 dollars where as not college you would earn 80,000 dollars. When attending college has obviously proven to be the route with a higher rate of success.
The fundamental platform of economics despite its existence for some extended period of time reflects so perfectly society at its state today. This is where you become surprised. It does not reflect upon our society as greatly in economics or money as much as in other ways. The world today is so greatly reflected upon the rule because of the principle behind the rule not the literal version of the rule itself. Society is searching, over anaylizing, digging to find the meaning behind everything. Trying to hard to explain how and why everything happens. The rule is the same way searching for something that needent be found. Life was much better in the days of the indians and in the days of the stone age. The days when searching so deep was not even a step they saw in the future.
The rule of economics, another one of someones time wasted digging to deep when it is not necessary or effective. This rule should be no rule but merely a theory.
