The Essence of Life is Giving

If we know who we are, where we come from, what is the purpose of our life on earth, then where are we going to go, if it would be like this in every self-conscious of all the things that we encounter will not be many complaints in this life.
Life itself is a gift from the Almighty Giver. When we are born into this world, we also get a gift of love from our parents. Imagine if we were born without someone who gives love, surely we do not exist until recently. All the things that we use in this life is a gift. What is given without strings attached. Without expecting a reply. Today we have grown up, or more than an adult's own words. It's time to not only accept, but giving. Giving what we have and we are able to provide it. No need grandiose, just things that are simple. Giving a smile to the people who passed by us, give love and attention to our parents. Make them a cup of tea, give greetings when away or home, or also give him a kiss.
The existence of our life today is not sudden, and it is not by itself without any intervention of others. The people around us is very important to our existence. But why many of us do not realize it? Therefore, it is time to give.
Many of the things we want to accomplish, such as work, ideals, our soul mate and so forth, before we get there should be a struggle, namely energy, thoughts and time.

If giving to the accompaniment of a desire for a reply, and recipient reply it, then it's not a complete gift. But a negotiation. Negotiations struggling between gains and losses. It's no longer based on conscience.
Each gift we give must have comeback to us, and will be doubled in reply. If you do not believe, try and do it. See and count with the objective. Replies were not just a nominal figure currency, nor goods, but also could be the presence of opportunity, security of health, increasing knowledge and many more benefits obtained. Not to mention the increase in reward.
If every person aware and understand the meaning of giving, maybe we will not find the term stingy, miserable or poor. Every person who knew his life was the gift will give more to others either morally or materially. Return to him in another form, so that such a cycle ..

Forms of government interference in the price mechanism

a. Government intervention as a buyer and seller directly in the market
Government intervention as the buyer intended to protect the producers and government intervention as the seller intended to protect consumers. For example: to keep the rice price decline at the time of harvest, the government through its institution act as a buyer and vice versa during a famine in the government acting as the seller to remove the rice from the national stock for rice prices level are not soaring to the detriment of consumers.
b. Maximum and minimum price fixing by government
1. Maximum price fixing, are intended to protect the consumer society connect with the high price. Maximum pricing always below market price, but not necessarily all be finished because if the domestic supply is limited so it will cause problems, namely: the occurrence of surplus demand, the existence of a fair system of rationing, the black market, the government's actions to combat black market.
2. Minimum price fixing, are intended to protect the producer connect with the low level of prices. Maximum price fixing is always above the market price where the producer only gets normal profits.
c. Government intervention indirectly through taxes and subsidies
This form of intervention is that many actions undertaken by all countries in the world in its efforts to influence indirectly in both the market equilibrium price and quantity of goods traded.
Intervention through taxes is intended to fill the state coffers to finance routine expenditure and development. In addition, the tax also as a tool to regulate the national economy.
If the manufacturer is generally taxed will happen: the price level rises, the number of production falls, the supply curve shifts to the left above, there was division of the tax burden passed over onto the consumer.
When consumers are generally taxed then will happen: consumers' purchasing power is reduced, total demand is reduced, the demand curve shifts to the left down, the price level down, there was division of the tax burden passed over onto the manufacturer.
Government action to create prosperity throughout society can also provide subsidies to the community both consumers and producers. Form of subsidy in the form of money or decrease in the price of goods. Subsidies in the form of money intended to provide additional income while in the form of lower prices for consumer goods intended to consuming less than actual goods, the rest is borne by the government. For producer subsidies will lower the selling price so that demand will likely increase.
If producers are given subsidies in general it happen: the price down, the number of goods offered increases, the supply curve shifts to the lower right, the distribution of subsidies. Meanwhile, if consumers are given subsidies in general it occurs: its purchasing power increases, consumer demand increases, prices rise, the demand curve shifts to the right above, the distribution of subsidies.

Law of Supply

As in the law of demand, then the law of supply also only consider the functional relationship between the amount of goods offered with price, while the other factors that influence the amount of goods offered in addition to price are considered remain unchanged (ceteris paribus).
Close relationship between price and quantity of goods offered gave birth to the understanding of the law of supply, which reads: "The number of goods on offer is always directly proportional to the price." That is if the price of goods rises, the total supply of goods will also rise, if the price of goods down the number of goods offered will also fall.
The law of supply apply if other factors besides price are ceteris paribus. As for other factors that form the ceteris paribus condition is primarily:
1. production techniques
2. number of producers
3. producer’s / seller’s view or estimate related to the prices of goods at a later date
4. prices of inputs or resources
5. the price of other goods related
6. Government policy
7. financial condition (producer / seller is not desperate for cash)
8. producer / seller have adequate warehousing facilities
