What does this journey cost?

In a world where every step seems to come with a price, I realize that life isn’t free; every experience demands its toll. But it’s in that price that the value lies: how we pay determines the richness of our journey. For me, life is a payment in multiples – sometimes in coins, sometimes in deeds, sometimes simply in rising to see the sun. Because even the sun, a symbol of free splendor, asks us to rise, to continue our path. I believe in the power of payment, not just in money, but in gestures, in smiles, in tasks accomplished. It’s in these simple acts that we discover the true richness of life. So let’s pay with love, with kindness, with the willingness to rise and greet the sun, knowing that even in our payment, we receive an invaluable treasure: the gift of life itself.
