Games Only The Brave Play

My experience has shown me that
it's the brave who ultimately get what they want.

 Sigh.

So I guess it's true what they say:

Those who dare, win.

But let me ask you this: How far are you supposed to go before you call it quits? How long do you hold out before you take your foot off the gas pedal? How much is required of you before you're allowed to give up and be thought no less of than when you started off?

Cos I sure as hell don't know.

And should you decide to press on with what you want, how far is too far to go? How deep is too deep to dig or dive? And how much is too much to ask for? What if what you want requires that you step over others to get it? Would you be willing? What if the destination you've got your eye on will cost you your integrity, your honour, or your virtue? Would you still head thataway?

I wouldn't.

But does that conviction make me any less brave than all the others who'd just go right ahead with what they want without any care for what other people in the picture think or feel?

Well, to think that of me, would be unfair.

But then, Life never plays fair, does she?

Here's the truth: The big screen's been lying to us since we were kids. Because you grow up and suddenly you realise that over here, the hero sometimes dies. The good guy sometimes loses. The good girl ends up alone. And good kids don't always get what they wish for on stars.

They say that "Those who dare, win." What they don't tell you is that what you've got to have, is bravery without conscience, compromise, or care for others. For Life doesn't always reward the daring with a righteous clause.
