One must make "timely loss cutting" a life creed for everyone.
Cut off the trades with the wrong direction,
Resign from unsuitable jobs,
Exit from unfit social circles,
Say goodbye to inappropriate relationships, leave unsuitable people.
So on and so forth, do not overly reminisce about sunk costs.
It's not scary to get on the wrong bus,
You cannot be reluctant to get off just because you've already put in the coin.
In life,
Learning not to engage in meaningless internal struggles is a great wisdom.
The longer you stay in the swamp, the deeper you sink.
In some trivial matters, the more entangled you become, the more you lose.
