Many people think that the most important things in life are free (i.e. they cannot be bought). Do you agree or disagree?

There has been a controversy about whether the most important things in life are free. I would say yes, and my reasons will be explained in the following paragraphs.

First

, our free

time

is limited.

For instance

, we usually spend our

first

18 years and

last

10 years in school and hospital;

therefore

, we will probably only have around 50 years of life left and deduct the working hours, our free

time

is limited.

However

, it still doesn'

t

mean you can fully control

this

period of

time

; there are some sorts of events that can encroach upon

this

time

,

such

as illnesses. Take me as an example. I have always wanted to travel to Japan;

nevertheless

, due to the heavy workload I have at the university,

this

dream seems impossible to realize.

Second

, free can promote our living standards.

For example

, there is a free which is called financial independence. It means your income covers your costs, and you still have some surplus money. Should you have become financially independent, you have saved enough money;

then

you can go whatever you like. You can still stay in your old job and do the same thing, but no one can force you to do anything you don'

t

like.

Third

, freedom in spirit is vital too. It can be explained as freedom of speech; in some countries, people have the right to say whatever they want, but in some countries, they don'

t

. In

this

case, if citizens can'

t

even speak freely, they can'

t

reach spiritual satisfaction. In conclusion, there are hundreds and thousands of forms of freedom, and all of them are crucial.
