Pride and Predjudice

It is a truth universally acknowledged,

That a single man in possession of a good fortune,

Must be in want of a wife.

But,

Alas,

However,

That is wrong.

A man desires one thing.

He strives for power.

Whether through peace,

Or pain,

Power.

His Pride,

Is what drives him,

His Pride,

Is what holds him back.

It is a truth universally acknowledged,

That a single man in possession of a good fortune,

Must be in want of...

More.

Enough is never Enough.

Men,

A man.

Women,

A woman.

Pride is Power.

But Power is learning to live.
