Feeling Heartbroken
Despite investing considerable effort into constructing his dream pond, Oliver felt a profound sense of disappointment. His aspirations of enjoying the tranquil beauty of the pond and its vibrant fish alongside his wife had been shattered. Instead of a soothing pastime, the pond had become a source of great distress for him, burdening him with unnecessary stress.
In addition to devoting substantial time and financial resources to its construction, Oliver had also invested a considerable amount in acquiring the fish for his pond. As the situation remained unresolved, he couldn’t help but experience a growing sentiment that all his efforts had been in vain. The sense of it being a tremendous waste began to weigh heavily on him.
