Wanting to get something for nothing is at the root of so much dysfunction in society: advertising, staking, debt, welfare, gambling. And yet generosity is a core part of how God made the world. Creation is a given, and keeps giving - the dead land produces, damaged ecosystems heal. And all for free. But nature is an exception, predicated on God's infinite productive power. For humans, generosity always costs something. We have to take our eyes off of our own balance sheet and do something costly in order to fill someone else up. Synergies and positive sum games exist, but they are like trade: essentially economical, and self-motivated. Generosity is always surprising, which makes it powerfully able to affect others. But it can be pre-empted by entitlement and grasping, which asks before a gift can be given, and for which no gift is ever enough. Greed deprives the recipient of the true value of the gift. Gifts bring unexpected grace, proof of love, and hope for the future. Proof of work - whether hashing, zapping, or building - is a type of gift. It is a voluntary shouldering of cost for the benefit of others, not merely a quid pro quo. God himself did this for us - the gift of Jesus was unimaginably costly to him (while in contrast, creation cost him nothing), and was the price he paid to purchase us our freedom. We all here on nostr are not only putting in the work to build the network, but also shouldering the opportunity cost of bigger networks, and more lucrative, less risky work - all to make a bid to preserve not only our freedoms, but also those of the people we love. In this, we are imitating the God who freely gave himself for us - and who has finally, completely, and irrevocably purchased us the most important freedom of all: freedom from sin and death.
