Love is not always worth the sacrifice, nor does it solve all our problems.
There are 3 bitter truths about love that many still refuse to understand!
Just because you love someone doesn't mean they're compatible
Just because you're in love with someone doesn't mean they're the right partner for you. Love is an emotional process, compatibility is a logical process. These are two separate concepts. You can fall in love with a person who treats you badly. You can fall in love with someone who has other ambitions or goals in life that are completely opposite to yours, or someone whose philosophical beliefs conflict with yours. So when you go out and look for a partner, you should not only be guided by your heart, but also by your mind. Judge a person based on how they treat people, what their ambitions and beliefs are.

Love doesn't solve our problems
Love may help you cope with problems, but it will not solve your problems. Just like money doesn't.
Love isn't always worth making sacrifices for
One of the important characteristics of loving someone is your ability to think of that person, their needs, more than yourself. But a question that is rarely asked is: "Why do I sacrifice myself for another and is it worth it?" In a love relationship, it is normal for both of you to sometimes sacrifice your desires, your needs and your time for the sake of the other. That's what makes a relationship really great. But when it comes to trampling your own esteem, self-esteem, physical fitness, ambitions and purpose in life just to be with someone, that's not healthy!
