The Cost of loving..

Okay. So my exams are on and let me tell you, The concepts we studying in MBA are nothing but daily doses of commonsense gift wrapped with flowery and important sounding words.
One such concept is The "cost-benefit" analysis.

When the costs of carrying on something outwieght the benefits derived out of it, we cease to carry that activity out. Is it not the most basic concept we have been following without even being taught about it?

Like when you shop, you compare the utility with the price tag.

Even Love and Relationships go through the COST-BENEFIT scrutiny. When the emotional costs of loving someone outweigh the satisfaction and fulfillment we receive in return, We Stop loving someone.

Is it not the reason for all the Divorces and break-ups? The "cost" of loving someone gets more than the worth of that someone in your life.. Aren't we all calculative shrewd business men? I though true love was not about getting something back while giving all you have.


Once again, my confused, pagan and distorted mind doesn't have an answer. Bravo world, you leave me speechless once again.

true..! most cases love follows cost benefit pattern. Very rarely few are true which is about unconditional love. You must be lucky to have it.

Agree fully with you. The most unfortunate part is that we love our image of ourselves loving someone than that someone. And therefore many times we do not stop loving !!!
