Love and Business

I teach business subjects. I have mastered the topic input-output as a concept in business; that in everything you give, you will receive something in return.

Labor will give you income. Resources will be used to produce goods, which in turn will give business people profits as they sell them. The more you give to the economy, the more will be given back to you.

That is business. And I can relate almost everything to this input-output concept. Why, even in grades we apply this. The more a student studies, the more he/she learns, the greater the score, the higher the grade.

But can we say the same for love? That the more I give, the more I will receive? I believe not. Because love defies many rules, even the input-output concept.

Love is not a business opportunity. It must be given for free, without expectations. I forgot to tell my students this. I'll do it next meeting.

PS: Or maybe I won't. Hehe. I'm so o.a.
