everything costs you something.

people say that we end up paying a price for everything. and they may be right.

but is that really the whole story?

every action of mine earns me a reward. every decision of mine leads to a consequence. and if i always do my best to do the right thing for the right reason, i invariably get a result i can be pleased with and proud of. any price i ever have to pay for this will always seem small by comparison to the sense of satisfaction that i've been blessed with.

i can absolutely afford this life's indulgence.. hey! i cannot not treat myself once every few centuries!
