worth the candle

Old idiom that means the potential benefits or rewards of an action or endeavor should justify the effort, time, or resources invested in it. The phrase has its origins in the idea of needing a candle to provide light for an activity, and the light should be worth the cost of the candle itself.

John: Is driving all the way across town for a cup of coffee really worth the candle?
Mary: Yes!

Self-worth

Doesn't fucking matter I should not have to create A.I. for free and work a job that I hate. No I don't have to find a job I LIKE. I DON'T WANT TO WORK!

Hym "Hey, shit, I can control death over life though can't I? I don't give a fuck about self-worth. I give a fuck about not working. Seriously. When it comes to sex, well, if I have to use my hand it just sucks to be me doesn't it? But when it comes to money well then if you all have to do it then I also to do it. You fucking filth are not going to trap me in labor for the rest of my life."
