“Mostly it is loss which teaches us about the worth of things.” - Arthur Schopenhauer
A friend shared this quote with me semi recently.And isn't it so true? Maybe you read it and think "Yeah, I know that feeling." And maybe you do, but I am betting a lot of people who think that- unless they have suffered some of the "earth shattering" forms of loss that would really give you perspective on what that quote really MEANS. (And if you do know that kind of loss...I am so so sorry for you.)
Maybe you are luckily blissfully unaware of how true this statement can be in a person's life, maybe you've never experienced that kind of loss- that isn't really the point here.
