Quote:The cause of just about every major conflict on the planet is because of this attitude.Rent or buy?
Some people think that if they buy a piece of land then they own it and can do whatever they like with it. For example, if they dig a hole and find oil they actually think that it's theirs.
I was once shooting late at night on a field which was about 500m from the nearest house.
The farmer came screaming down in his car and asked what I was doing on “his landâ€. I told him I was photographing the stars. Maybe he thinks that the stars above “his land†are his.
You don't own any of Adobe's software. You just have the right to use it - on their terms.
If you don't like their terms go somewhere else. It's very simple.
We pay some 130€ per month on internet connection, internet TV and mobile calls/SMS package. I don't watch much TV, and the only person I call is my wife. Lightroom CC is less than 10% of this. It is really cheap for what I get.
Like I said, it's the cost of a cup of coffee once a week. Principle or not, if you have a problem with this then you really have a problem.
We seem to have.......... Oh. such a different attitude to life...... I can feel it so strongly!
It is true however that we are just the "custodians" of our temporary usage of the planet earth and all that we have on it......but the law still acts in a fashion to protect our "ownership" of property....and has accommodations for the passing of our hard owned gains to our chosen ones!
The situation can be applied to renting a house or buying one.....it's no state secret that people rent property in order to gain money, most (in these ever more difficult times of housing) who have the wherewithal will buy........why? ......well it's not easy at first but overall and in the course of time buying is the cheapest and best route!
Is there a hidden message in there somewhere, that can be applied to other spheres of life?
Are you the owner (lifetime custodianship) of a car or do you just ring for a taxi!
