Opportunity cost is the tax on every choice. Almost. Every decision costs something. The job costs the freedom. The freedom costs the security. The city costs the quiet. There’s always a bill. But there’s one thing that seems to dodge the rule entirely: strength. Not the metaphorical kind. The kind you build until it’s yours — the kind you can’t buy, inherit, or fake. The kind that only shows up after more years and more quiet discipline than anyone ever sees. Everything else has a downside. Money attracts leeches. Fame costs privacy. Smart invites second-guessing. Even health has a dark side — the obsession, the fear of falling off. But strength gives you options. And options are the one thing opportunity cost is supposed to take away. So maybe the rule isn’t universal. Or maybe the only thing strong people give up is the excuse to be weak.
