ahhh... the things we'll do

So, what is it we will do for a dollar? Not enough? How about a thousand dollars? A million? Is there a limit to what we will sell ourselves for? Me, I won't. Not for any amount will I sell out what means the most to me or the things that are priceless to begin with. I could take a few hundred and finally get those tats I wanted done for so long. I could catch up on the bills that plague us all. I could pay my car off or move to a better house or get furniture that makes the place feel a little more like home or get f'd up beyond belief because I feel like it. None of which is worth the price I might have to pay. It shouldn't even be a question. Money rules too many to such an extent that I wish it was never a consideration in the first place.
Do what you must. Do what you will. Remember though, that there is always a price to pay and sometimes the wager is far more than you could have seen to begin with. Are you willing to sell something that may never be available for purchase again? Do what we must. But live with the consequences. You alone are responsible for the outcome. I'm preaching, I know. Kettles and pots aren't we all?
Tell me please what you have done to discern between the right and the righteous. Tell me what makes us all too human. What makes us all question our very own existence and suurender what we knew forever? I never will know for sure. I'd like to think that there are those of out there who thrive on the fact that we are humans and we all feel these emotions and pains and crossroads and dilemmas. Perplexing at best, do we opt for the road less traveled or the one that simply feels right? Again, I am ranting, but it is theraputic and necessary. We all have our vices. You know it's true.
