Well, before we can answer that, first we need to define what "Free" means?
Does it only mean that we need not to pay any money to get it?
The range is somehow too wide. I didn't have to pay money to fly to germany because my husband paid for it. But I had to leave many precious things in my life too. I left my deares people "my whole family", my friends, my job without even knowing for sure that this decision was correct and whether my marriage will last forever or not. That is not money but that the people I left meant the world to me too. I couldn't see my parent so often.
The last visit was nearly 3 years ago. Now I'm expecting my first baby and I can't even hope to see my mother when it's born.
Not only because of the expenses but also because of visa issues.
And I don't even know either, when I could finally travel back there and give my parents a chance to hold their first granddaughter...
So I wouldn't call my present happiness has been gotten for free. There were some sacrifices too and it is more expensive to me than all the cost my husband had to pay to meet me and get me here to live with him :).
But NO, I didn't have a price tag hung on my neck. :-D
He didn't have to pay a bride price, a dowry nor wedding party expenses to get my hand for a marriage ^_^.
So you can help me decide whether my better half is free or not. ;)

Thank you for posting @ned.
Appreciate the opppotunity to ponder these things and express thought.
Are the best things in life....free?
As long as mankind seeks freedom the things enjoyed in life are those that are ....free of regulation...of censorship, etc.
To answer your query...yes,the best things in life are those that are free of regulation...of censorship...of government interference.
Ie. freedom of speech...of debate....flow of truth..an engress..egress
Example: As in the opportunity to post here at Steemit without the concern of data gathering...government interference...propagandizing etc....All very important. That is not to say there should not be policy as there should be....every organization has purpose, policy and chain of command..
Another way of answering the query.....would be a thing may be free of charge...but not free from cost...as somebody paid for it.
Example: Just as in the ultimate free gift...the gift of Salvation...it may be free to mankind but Christ paid the price. Salvation...secures ones eternal future...that surely is the best thing in life.
Thank you for all you do. We here at Steemit appreciate the opportunity to express thought freely.
Kind Regards, bleujay

Usually when the "best things" are free it happens to be bacause there is not a scarcity of that "thing".
How much would it cost us to watch a sunset if there was only one "seat" per day with view to the sun? would it be free?

I think that all the things are free in life! Only because someone put a price on it that doesn't make it 'not free'!

Yes! Oxygen, food, water, body functions! All these are things that are mutually & simultaneously given and taken freely. Like oxygen and carbon dioxide between plant and mammals!
Really the biggest difficulty & problem is human intervention blocking others from these things all in the name of "profit"!

The best thing? Each person has different values. For some it's a new smartphone for someone jewelry. For me - this is when my kids kissed me before going to bed, when my husband hugs me and tells me that I have a lovely wife. Yes! I can confidently say that for me this is the best cho can be. And it's free. Love can not be bought. Me love my native people just like that.

True, but I had to pay for the flight to be able to visit my future wife when she was still living in Indonesia .... :)
And what is the definition of "free"? Does it only mean that one hasn't to pay any money for it? Is something "for free" which costs no money but you have to do a huge effort to reach it?
Difficult question ...

If you put things in that term...yes, we must invest to get a person's love. Invest time, dedication...I was only thinking in money. Can we also think in this "free" as "freedom"? ;)

I guess that depends how each individual see the best things!
If for your best things are cars, jewelry and other luxury things, then aren't for free.
But if best things for you means love, peace and other related things, I guess yes, these are for free !

One has to be very lucky to get something for free.
Maybe the love of your family during the first years of life is free. But after that, you always have to do something, to get something back.
