Investing sincerity

Our whole life is an investment.

Most of the time, it’s NOT the monetary returns that we’re after.

In our body, we invest in nutritious food, invest in time and effort to exercise.

For our mind, we invest in education, be it academic or non-academic.

For our emotions, we invest in entertainment, in soul-searching, in religion.

Now, what about our relationships with others?

We put in the ultimate investment;

Our sincerity.
The most precious intangible asset that all of us have.

I say sincerity is the most precious investment we put into relationships because it expects no returns.

We hope for nothing in return.

We expect nothing.

That’s why the return of this investment always surprises us.

I never expected betrayal.
