Bedraggled Winnings

Have you ever gotten exactly what you wanted, just not the method you wanted to gain it? The change of circumstances completely nulifies the original desire.

You set out on a mission, to obtain this goal, a great desire or maybe even a need in your life. You have this plan of action, a method you will attain this goal. You are on your way to getting just what you want. Then it seems as though, unthinkably fast, you have what you've wanted. Yet the path took a turn was completley off your map. It almost seems as if you have been tele ported from where you were headed along the path to your ultimate goal. Wow, what a great place to be!

But there was a great mistake in it all. Looking back and reviewing the events that occured, everything has gone awry; almost through a metamorphosis. It seems the path you once had chosen has been commpletely altered. Now the ambition you started with has become tatered, fadded and quite definitely degraded from the high pedastal it once lay upon.

The prize you have attained now disgusts you. It is repulsive and untasteful. You wish that you would never have won. Maybe if the battle for the prize had been stronger. Maybe if it had taken longer. Maybe then you would appreciate it more. Maybe. Then it might be...what you wanted it to be.

But you're the "big winner". You have what others have wanted. You won the coveted item, yet no longer wish it was yours to hold. One day you were desperate for it, now it is unprofitable. What can you do with the revolting article? Is it just to stay there upon it's unworthy pedastal? Will it ruin your objective in life?
