What wonders have you sought? What worldly treasures and earthly pleasures have tantalized your mind and caught you heavy with the drug of desire? Fortune? Fame? An endless fountain of serendipity? Or something of softer substance - the curb of world hunger, the cure for cancer, the conclusion to world poverty and war? Imagine attaining your heart's deepest dreams. Imagine the possibility of having a lifelong aspiration fulfilled, an inner ambition succeed. Imagine the glory of such moment, close touch, within grasp.
What would you pay? What would you give for the elixir of your life? What would you sacrifice in the name of your atrophied war, your benevolent cause, your rightful future? Would you sacrifice time, or money? Would you fritter away the ages of your youth, the merriment of socializing, the intimacy of a lover, or the time cherished with family? What price, would you pay for your star spangled ambitions? What worth, is the pinnacle of your life? Many have sought the career ladders of their life and the visions of their future, only to look back at the ashes of the objects they had left behind.
Because it is in reaching our long awaited goals that we are stripped to the core of our characters. Our morals, motives and priorities questioned. Our strength, courage and principles tested and tried. The greatest golden pots of the world are for those who choose to seek it with fiery passion and determination. Those who chase, follow, and choose to immerse themselves in their dreams. But in doing so, face the doubt of its worth, face the judgement of their actions, face the very pillars of their physical, mental and emotional capabilities. In life's grand scale, some shun, and some prevail.
