Some concepts in economics are surprising, just as some teachings of Christianity are surprising the first time.  An example is how difficulties or "opposition" are what makes a firm or a person stronger.  Consider how a tree grows.

Some concepts in economics are surprising, just as some teachings of Christianity can be surprising to some people at first.  An example common to both economics and Christianity is how difficulties or "opposition" are what makes a firm or a person stronger.  Consider how a tree grows.

A tree starts out as a tiny seed with apparently little chance of survival.  It must find nourishment deep in the soil, and it must defy gravity by growing towards the sky for sunlight.  Typically no humans help it.  The tree has to make it on its own, and deal with tornadoes, hurricanes, and hostile animals.  The tree never “owns” anything.
