Yes, and — IMO — you should consider seeking out relationships with cumulative risk and reward if you don't have them already. Intimacy builds naturally in relationships where people aren't filling roles where they're fungible, like companionship.

I'm not using either "risk" or "reward" in a strictly material sense, here. It's risky to love, in part, because another person's hurts and fears become yours, too. It's rewarding to love, in part, because their joy becomes your joy.

i disagree with the use of 'investment' to frame the concept. literal definition includes the return. it's an important distinction.

Maybe the issue here is the idea that people should always *choose* their investments, and/or that they should only choose "good" investments I think it's fair to say that all good parents are invested in their children, regardless of "returns," even in the form of happiness
