Software or application? The debate rages on for everyone. For me, free of cost is a metaphor for samsara and malaise and pain. If you have ever seen a western spiritual song, then you will notice that they will end with a benediction, where they will say 'For the Souls of the Poor'. This song speaks of what it means to live in samsara and what it means to be in samsara. It speaks of the kind of life you want to live. I believe that even though you are not able to pay for the upgrade or maintenance cost of your application, Samsara is still present in your soul.
In this article, I am going to discuss a story which illustrates this concept of Samsara, I mean how badly people need free. I am going to explain how we can download software to our computers without paying for it. This software could be used by free software advocates as an alternative way to help support the free software movement. When we download applications to our computers, we are really downloading samsara. We are not just trying to download something to help us in our personal life. Instead, we are downloading samsara to help others and to uplift ourselves. We are doing something that we enjoy, something that makes us feel good, even if it is something that will cost us money.
There are a number of applications for Mac that people can download without paying a dime. The purpose is to do a bit of research on them and see if there is something worthwhile, something that will enhance the computer experience for the user. There are applications that allow you to edit photographs and other things. There are also applications that help with controlling your diet. The applications that people download free can also be used to help others, whether you donate the funds or not.
