        Once upon a time, there was a man who loved fruit very much.

        One day, he went to India with his friends. When he got there, he saw a lot of fruit, but much of it was expensive. Finally, he saw a big basket of fruit. The fruit was red and long. And it was the cheapest there.

        So he went up and bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and started eating it. But after he ate some of it, oh, my god, his eyes watered, his mouth watered and burnt, and his face became red. He jumped up and down, saying "Ah! Ah! Ah!"

    But he still continued to eat the fruit! Some people who were looking at him shook their heads and said, "You're crazy, man. Those are chilies! You can't eat so many! People use them as relish, but only a little bit to be put into food for taste. You can't just eat them like that." But the silly man said, "No, I can't stop! I paid money for them, and now I'll eat them up. It's my money!"

        We sometimes do a lot of things like that, we still continue just because we've put money, time, effort and love into it even though we suffer from it.

        So even if you've lost something, let it go and move on. That's better than continuing to lose.
