In a good story, two people sacrifice equally or according to their capacity, thinking about each other selflessly. They prioritize each other more than themselves, understanding each other’s problems and working together to solve them.

It doesn’t require sacrificing life; it can survive with kindness and fairness, where both people acknowledge their human limitations and patience. Instead of testing someone’s sincerity too much, show compassion and understanding.

In both movie characters and real life, a story where one person is the giver and the other is the taker cannot last long. It collapses when the giver loses patience or when things exceed their limits. So, deciding how much each person should contribute to the relationship is better.

Nobody enjoys a story with a sad ending. We feel upset because it may go against humanity, and we can’t bear to see someone suffer or sacrifice solely for others. We all feel happy watching a happy ending, where everyone finds their destiny or the reward for their struggles.

In real life, we must be more conscious than movie characters, as reality is much more sensitive. Achieving a happy ending is not always easy; our efforts sometimes fall short, unlike in movies where everything settles with little effort.

One thing that always helps, alongside prayers, is humanity and good intentions. Everything becomes possible if we are honest and just. We should solve matters sincerely and honestly, avoiding being the negative characters in each other’s story.

We feel safe, secure, and calm when we truly respect and love a relationship without conditions and doubts. Our trust erases our fears and insecurities. Also, we all should selflessly help each other so that life’s problems become easier for all of us. After all, all characters are important, not just the two main ones.
