Lo que no tiene precio

A man spent years building a company. He left home while his children were still asleep and returned long after they had gone to bed. His refrain was always the same: “I’m doing all of this for them. I want to give them what I never had.” He succeeded. He bought a bigger house, a better car, paid for good schools, trips, and comforts. But one day, while organizing old boxes, he found a drawing his son had made as a child. It showed a house, a child holding his mother’s hand, and an empty space on the side. Underneath, the boy had written: “Here is where Dad should be.” The man stared at the drawing for a long time. He had worked to give his son many things, but along the way he had stopped giving him something his son truly wanted: himself.

That story opens this episode of La Dosis Diaria, and it sets up the central argument: it is terribly expensive to lose what has no price. There are things that have a price and can be bought again, but there are others that, once lost, no amount of money can recover. Time with your children, a conversation with your parents, the trust of someone who loves you, a marriage you stopped caring for, a true friendship, your peace, your spiritual health, your time with God.
