Summary

This quote suggests that the price or cost of something is not solely determined by its monetary value, but also by the amount of time, effort, and sacrifices one must make to acquire or possess it. It highlights the concept of "life" as a currency, emphasizing that every decision to pursue or obtain something requires an exchange of one's valuable time and energy, which ultimately affects one's overall quality of life. The quote encourages us to consider the true worth of things beyond their apparent cost.
