It really is the hardest thing in life for people to decide when to cut their losses.
When you have time and effort invested, it is so difficult to finally decide that ‘enough is enough’ and stop following that path.
Take simple queing at the bank or checkout or waiting for a bus. After you know you should quit, you feel that joining a new queue means ‘losing’ all the time already invested in the slower queue.
From financial investments to marriage it is all the same problem. Do I carry on or write it off and try something else? It is easy to say, but really, really difficult to do.
