I don't understand why...
.. the best things in life are free: therapeutic nature; movement, sleep, and nourishment that enable good health; loving support from our inner social circle; company, conversation, and entertainment from those we choose to spend quality time with...
.. and yet we have a tendency to ignore them all and spend money to buy things from smartphone apps and online stores that can lower our stress levels, and improve our physical health, and win the approval of strangers, and keep loneliness at bay.
And what if we spent our money instead on life-changing experiences that can give us more of the things that are already free? Experiences like: self-education courses, travel, charitable drives & donations, and extracurricular activities.
Wouldn't the world, and our own lives, be better for it?
