About This Quote
If you love someone, you might build a house for them. This is a positive way to show your affection and respect for them. However, if you love someone and then they die, you can build a tomb or a memorial for them instead. The same applies to life; we might build our lives on good things like love and family, but we can also sink our lives in bad things like debt and addiction. We may seem like we are building a house, but we are really sinking something else.
