Commentary

“I’d give anything.” This is a common expression which is used much too loosely. Whether discussing something as important as a career goal or something as trivial as a craving for a favorite food, people frequently remark that they would do anything or sacrifice anything to achieve some desired outcome. When you actually come down to it, though, some things are too precious to sacrifice for almost any reason.
