..so here I go...ok.
The word resource does not refer to a thing or a substance but to a function which a thing or a substance may perform or to an operation in which it may take part, namely, the function or operation of attaining a given end such as satisfying a want. In other words, the word resource is an abstraction reflecting human appraisal and relating to a func­tion or operation”.

So, resource satisfies individual human wants or attains social objectives. It also refers to the positive interaction between man and nature. Man is, of course, the most important and integral part of resource creation, as he is situated in the top of the hierarchy of resource consumption. Only the satisfaction of human beings converts anything or a substance into resource

A thing or substance is not considered as resource when it fails to give satisfaction to human beings. Proven reserves of petroleum in the midst of inaccessible terrain or in the abyss is not considered resource as they fail to yield any satisfaction to either society or individual.

Geo-thermal energy in this contemporary world is considered to be the most useful resource, but, till recently, this heat-flow was not considered as resource—because man was absolutely ignorant about its uses.

Resource must possess two important properties:

(a) Function ability, and

(b) Utility.

To define anything or substance as resource, one must critically examine whether it has the property of both utility or function ability. The presence of both utility and function ability is mandatory for resource creation. For example, a bottle of poison has function ability but it has got no utility value as food. The function ability is also the function of space and time.

The resource of yesteryears may not be considered as resource today, resource considered by one country may be considered as waste product by another country, e.g., frog is considered as delicious food in Europe while it is not edible in large sections of India
