There's this old story about an old farmer and his horse. You see, this old farmer had a horse that he loved dearly; took great care of it and pampered it. But he was getting old, and wanted to retire to the City, where he could not keep a horse. So what do I do with this horse, he wondered? He asked a wise friend, who told him: sell the horse for the highest amount of money that you can. What?!? replied the farmer; I love my horse dearly and would never think of selling it like some goods. The wise man replied: if you give it away, whoever gets it will abuse the shit out of it, and treat it like a workhorse, whip it every day, etc. because they got it for free, and won't value it. On the other hand, if you sell it for a huge sum, the buyer will pamper it and take good care of it, because it's an investment to them.
