“Love without sacrifice is like theft.”
Nassim Nicholas Taleb

In modern life, relationships often require sacrifice in order to flourish. For instance, in a romantic partnership, sacrificing our time to listen attentively to our partner's needs can deepen the connection between both individuals, fostering love and understanding. Without this willingness to sacrifice for one another, the relationship may feel shallow or unfulfilling, echoing Taleb's sentiment that love without sacrifice lacks genuine value.
