Secondly, the means of one goal might undermine another goal, in other words, causing opportunity cost. In those cases one must strike a balance on those goals by the trade offs between their revenue and costs.. That is necessary comparison especially in the government decision since the resource it could apply to attaining the goals is mainly from its limited budget. For instance, few would deny that the endeavor to provide health-care for every civilian is worthy in both individual and social level. Whereas what if the means to reach it is to withdraw money from public education and fundamental facilities building? The price of that goal is at the sacrificing of other goals, which is unreasonble in a comprehensive advisement.
However, the spiritual goals could hardly be judged by face value. Some efforts, though unreasonable by a profit-and-cost analysis on the individual level, bring significant influnce on society. Consider the handicapped athletes who participate in Paralympic Games. It takes much effort and sacrifice to even a wholesome person to pursue the goal of sports, not alone the handicappeds. Most handicapped athletes who decide to achieve this goal give up many other possibilities in their life such as finding a stable work that calls for less endeavor. Yet through the progress they realized the value of their life and win wide social respect. What is more, their courage and strong will inspires thousands of people with deformity or other difficulties to overcome obstacles in life and pursue they passions. If people are too concerned about the cost to attain these spiritual goals, some of them are likely to be never achieved since they cost much and brings little at face value.
