Summary

This quote highlights the idea that it is unrealistic and unreasonable to expect every relationship to last indefinitely. It suggests that measuring the success or failure of a relationship solely based on its duration, such as believing that a 10-year relationship is automatically a failure, is foolish. Relationships are complex and can change over time, and it is more important to appreciate the value and growth experienced within a relationship, regardless of its longevity, rather than fixating on its lifespan as the sole indicator of success.
