Price of Power, The

Power.
You can sweat for it.
You can buy it with a wad of cash.
You can earn it on your back.
You can have it implanted into your body.
You can hunt for it in the dead of night.
You can win it with a careful word in the right ear.
You can pry it from the dead fingers of your rivals.
You can steal it from right under the noses of those who guard it most jealously.
And once you have it, you will have to ask yourself: is it worth all the things you had to do to get it, and all the things you'll have to do to keep it?

Which is the worse fate: being powerless, or gaining power and realizing it wasn't worth the price?
