Simplified meaning
Before you decide to start a fight or argument, you should think about what it might cost you. This isn't just about money—it's also about your time, energy, and feelings. For example, imagine you have a disagreement with a close friend. Before you confront them, consider what you might lose, such as the friendship or trust you have built. Sometimes, the damage from the fight can be worse than the issue itself. This advice encourages you to weigh the pros and cons, helping you to avoid unnecessary conflicts and make better choices.
