Love, leave, live

" If you love it,
don't leave it,
but live it"

When he was a kid he got all that he wanted. He always figured out ways to get what he wanted. Sometimes he had to study hard to top his class for it and some other time he just had to blackmail his parents into submission. He always had a plan. If it was possible and he wants it, he had it. The equation was very simple.

He grew up to be a very different man, it just was not that simple any more. He wanted many things, most of them contradicting each other. When they seemed simple, there were powers mightier than him at play. At first he fought all the battles with a childish innocence and with supreme confidence of man in command. He was battered, bruised and shattered by this new enemy . Now every time he wanted something, he had to make sure if he wants to fight the battle, for it hurts to win or to lose. Some battles are not worth the pain.

All this left an agitated soul looking for the kid which got lost in the process of growing up, for the magic equation which had all the solutions.

What more can I do?

"When you want to get (what you) love, you need to give what it takes rather than all that you have got"

Variant:

"When you need to be a demon to get the job done, doesn't help playing god"
