Losing the love of your life? Loneliness? Career dreams squashed? Bad diagnosis? Poverty?
No....
It's counting the cost, growing bitter, and not giving a darn. Whatever you do, it will never "pay off." No relationship, no career path, no pursuit will ever really "give back" to match what you put into it. You have to learn to genuinely care. That is the greatest challenge of life, to learn how to love.
Let the rest go, even though it hurts so much when and if you lose it. We are here to choose love, to share love, and to grow in love. That is the meaning of life.
