Kings

There can be no victory without loss, no joy without pain, no action without consequence. 

But there are those of us who just want to have it all. Oh yes, everything there is in the world, and the universe beyond. Perhaps the root cause of this is isn't greed, but that they do not know what it is that they truly want; thus, everything becomes that that they want. 

But somewhere along the lines, there has got to be sense amidst the insanity. When the crunch comes, when it is truly time to make the call, a decision has to be made, and stood by thereafter.

Yes, decisions are never an easy thing. Choices, ah the agony of choice, they tempt us in their infinite variety of ways. They toy with our emotions, they cloud our judgement, they distort our reality, and they blur our focus. But, no matter what the decision is, one can never escape the impending aftermath that follows it. 

Sacrifice.

It is what it all ultimately boils down to. It is something no decision nor choice can be made without. It stalks the undecided, and it haunts them. Always it is there, incessant and relentless it clings to them -even those of us who seemingly have it all.
