“ General Idea The world of culture differs from the physical one. It functions under different laws, depends on different circumstances and driving forces, and develops different powers. Ancient Romans said Natura parendo vincitur, which literally means “Nature obeying one wins.” In other words, we get the best fruit from nature if we act in accordance with its laws. Likewise, we can get the best fruit from culture if we act in accordance with its laws and do not project upon it laws that govern civilization. The quintessential natural law of culture is Ultimate Freedom. ”

“ It becomes more powerful and valuable if it is heard. When you share an idea with someone or let someone copy your work, by the very nature of it you are not losing it but developing the idea or making the work known, and thus, you are becoming richer.
Moreover, an author, even in his inner dialog, while creating, is as much a receiver as he is a contributor. Author and humankind are always on par, and no one owes anything to the other.
That is why an author does not lose his work when it gets distributed, and the work does not lose value.

“ Exposure versus Depreciation Having said the above, we understand that a work of art gains value every time it interacts with an audience. Regardless of the circumstances, the more it is “used,” the more valuable it becomes. On the other hand, in the world of physical things, the opposite is true—the more you use something the more it depreciates.
Humanity versus Bodily Needs Culture is the only reality where humanity develops.
