If you go up in the mountains and live there, the air and water is free and mostly it's clean. When you want the privilege to drink slime and breathe noxious gases you go to the city where they are proud to sell it to you. Athletes take oxygen, but no one knows why. Your body can't get any more from the pure stuff than from the stuff mixed with Nitrogen. We live in a society of privilege. If you want to buy oxygen, you certainly have the right to do any fool thing, but that has nothing to with what is of value.

Examples of things which create action are those things which are in motion and have mass. The action principle is the core of modern theoretical physics. It's built around the idea of billiard balls zooming around slamming into things which creates chaos and is the proper model for the mechanical universe.
