INSPIRATION: From the show(based off autobiographical book) ‘Lark Rise to Candleford”. The context of the quote is an epidemic resulting in a death. When mourning the seeming meaninglessness of life, a man’s wife gives him this response:
“To love is to lay yourself open to loss. THAT is the bargain we make with ourselves, Thomas-because it is WORTH it.”(-character Margaret Brown).
There are many different types of losses-of relationship, of self, of circumstance, etc. We may wonder, when things get hard, why we put ourselves into relationships with others. It is because it truly IS worth it. Each of us was made for community to some degree, and the benefits of truly and deeply sharing your life with another and walking alongside them is worth the work it takes to find those people, and it is worth the unknown of the future.
