“The cost of loving your life is work, sacrifice and dedication. You love that which is worth something to you, that which you invest in.”
by Innocent Mwatsikesimbe — from The Vision, chapter 59
In other words
A life becomes valuable partly through what is given to build and sustain it. Work develops ability, sacrifice protects what matters, and dedication keeps progress alive after the first desire has faded.
That investment creates a bond. The person knows what it took to reach the present self and is less willing to throw that life away or let it weaken through neglect.
Love for life is not purchased by suffering, and an easy gift does not deserve less care. The cost lies in continued participation. Each effort says that this life is worth improving. Over time, the work becomes part of why its owner can see so much value in what has been made.
