最珍贵的东西是免费的

冯光鹏

It suddenly occurred to me that the best things in life are free.

Sunshine is free. None of the human beings in the world can survive without sunshine. However, who has ever paid a coin for the sunshine he or she enjoys?

Air is also free. A person needs inexhaustible supply of air to keep alive. But is there anyboby who pays for the air thats so indispensable?

Free is blood relationship. Since a baby comes to the world, it is under meticulous care of its parents—so profound and selfless that none of the parents would say, “I wont care for you unless Im paid.” The parents love wont depreciate with the childs growing up, nor weaken with their own aging—it remains the same as long as they live.

Also free is friendship. Your friend, who keeps you company when you are lonely, helps you stand up when you fall, embraces you when you are heart-broken, is the one who never asks for payment. Does he or she demand any reward for the offer?

Love is indeed free. Admiration arises despite oneself, yearning growing beyond ones control, willingness to go through thick and thin, and enthusiasm to help each other overcome crisis—all these are deep comfort and most solid support to depend on in life. They are gratis, yet they cant be bought by money.

Its also true for faith, hope and will, as well as dream ... They are all free and can be got for the asking. Also free are the spring wind and drizzle, the moonlight and the twinkling stars ... all those nice things of the world that are nourishing to ones mind.

Dont sigh any more to the Heaven, which is just and generous. Everyone is fairly treated—the most valuable things are given free of charge.

忽然发觉，在这个世界上，最珍贵的东西是免费的。

阳光，是免费的。芸芸众生，没有谁能够离开阳光而活下去。然而，从小到大，可曾有谁为自已享受过的阳光支付过一分钱？

空气，是免费的。一个人只要还活着，就需要源源不断的空气。可从古到今，又有谁为这须臾不可缺少的东西付过钱？

亲情，是免费的。每一个婴儿来到世上，都受到了父母无微不至的呵护，那是一份深入血脉不求回报的疼爱。可从没有哪一个父母会对孩子说：“你给我钱我才疼你。”父母的这份爱，不因孩子的成年而贬值，更不因父母的衰老而削弱；只要父母还活着，这份爱就始终如一。

友情，是免费的。寂寞时默默陪伴你的那个人，摔倒时向你伸出手臂的那个人，伤心时将你揽在怀里的那个人，可曾将他（她）的付出折合成现金，然后要你还钱？

爱情，是免费的。那份不由自主的倾慕，那份无法遏制的思念，那份风雨同舟的深情，那份相濡以沫的挚爱，正是生命最深切的慰藉与最坚实的依靠。而这一切，都是免费的，更是金钱买不来的。

还有信念，还有希望，还有意志，还有梦想……所有的一切，都是免费的，只要你想要，你就能得到。还有春风，还有细雨，还有皎洁的月光，还有灿烂的星辉……世间多少滋润心灵的美好事物，都是免费的啊……

再不要对着苍天唉声叹气了！苍天是公正的，更是慷慨的；苍天早已把最珍贵的一切，免费给了每一个人。
