Is it worth it?

So this is kinda my first official entry into this new blog that I have decided to really work on and keep up to date and its 2:22am and my body is ready to sleep, but as any writer can tell you, the mind doesnt always listen to the body. Today was my day off from work from my new job and i spent it running a friend up to get an application, which took longer to find the place then it did for her to fill out the app. Then i kept a promise to go and see another friend that i havent seen in a little time because of work and other issues. Nothing like spending time with friends to make you realize just what exactly it is your fighting for. To see their beautiful face, hear their laughter, and know that beyond a shadow of a doubt, they call and you move and heaven and earth to be there. While I was hanging out with them this statement came out and this is where the majority of this blog will be based from "one man's trash is another man's treasure." Very interesting statement and one that got my mental gears turning. Is the reason you value the treasure because the treasure itself is valuable? Or because you know that someone else wants that treasure? And so in reality, the envy of the other person is more valuable to you then the actual treasure itself? I have found that sometimes it is not so much the actual treasure that we desire but the perks and benefits that accompany the treasure. Merely the simple thought of even having such a treasure makes us desire it even though we may know or care little about said treasure. When I find something that I feel is important to me then I will fight for it and dare anyone to stand in my way when it comes to my defense of that said thing. I'm not alone. Most men and women will do the same. They stand up and do all that they can to ensure that the treasure remains in their life, regardless of the sacrifice that must be made in order to ensure this. The treasure could be anything, but in this case I am refering to relationships, and that special someone that for some are still looking, others have found, still others have found but yet still look. Now that last statement will be an interesting topic to explore. So continuing on. When you find someone who grabs your attention and you want nothing more than for that person to be a part of your life, you willingly open yourself up and give yourself into that person's life, with the expectations of the person reciprocating that investment. You invest your time, feelings, thoughts, emotions, and energy into that person and then only recieve a less than expected returen on your investment. No wonder why so many people live with broken hearts. Talk about a high risk investment with little to no guarentee on return. So the question once was asked why do people choose the person who cares little over the person who cares alot.? I think is is simple logic. The lesser the investment, the lesser the risk, the lesser the loss if the relationship takes a nose dive. We sometimes choose the person who cares less because we know that the relationship will be in some ways easier because the person isnt giving much so naturally shouldnt expect much, and so less is required of us, yet we still can have what we want at that moment. And for most in this instance, it is the simple idea of having a treasure, and not so much the actual treasure that is of value to us.
But is it really worth it?
If you only give a little, then by natural law you should expect little in return. If you give much, then your entitled to expect much. So then why should we even invest in the little when we can use all of those various littles to fight for and invest in the big one. In simple terms, why waste our time with dead end relationships that only satisfy our momentary needs, when we can invest all that energy into building a lasting relationship with someone of real value. Someone who understands the mathematics of love and relationships. The person who is willing to give more and is only giving you this because they believe you will invest the same. If you arent willing to fight for your treasure, then my friend you are not worthy of that treasure. Heck you arent even worthy of the sand that protects it.
I am literally about to pass out so i think its time for bed. I will write some more later.
