Getting the best deal for your cow

 We are all taking our cow to the market place some day, and when that cow get slaughtered, the gig is up, we've fallen in love. 

You can't really argue with love. Love is a doe-eyed cow. Once he's been taken to market he gets corralled into the slaughterhouse. The only difference is that in real life, a cow has some reluctancy. In love, it is as if we were possessed by an idiot. 

It is only once time has passed that we realize what we have lost. In losing a relationship, we see all the shortcomings of it. We realize that we've wasted years of our lives. God save those who are out of a 15 year or longer relationship. I think that must be a kind of hell. 

That we need love is one thing. No one denies it, but that we need to fall for a bad deal again is the unnecessary part. That is why we need to make sure our inner cow has a high price when we need to send it to the slaughterhouse. 

Relationships take a lot of self-sacrifice, and in the end they may not be worth it, so make sure you fetch a good price for your cow. Make sure that you don't lose all your strength to someone who doesn't appreciate it.
