"Was it worth it?

​

What do you mean?

​

Was it worth it? - 

The

TIME

ALONE?

​

The

SOLITUDE? 

INTROSPECTION?

REFLECTION?

The

MEDITATION?

​

Was it worth it?

What did you find?

​

A PARADISE?

A WILDERNESS?

GOLD?

RICHES?

WEALTH?

​

POWER?

​

Did you learn the Art to -

GOVERN MEN?

&

CONQUER TERRITORIES?

​

Do you now possess -

GREAT FORTUNES? -

The KNOWLEDGE

To seed

GREAT EMPIRES

&

CIVILISATIONS?

​

The secret of 

IMMORTALITY...?

​

HA! HA! HA! HA...!

But - I must stop you now -

Before you exhaust yourself - 

Since, I see you are already Breathless - 

You sweat - 

Your eyes - they bulge - 

Your fingers - they twitch -

With pensive anxiety -

So I shall stop you now -

​

Yes.

​

I found all those things

In varying degrees. 

But I found - something more!

​

A treasure

Much much more! -

VALUABLE...

​

I

FOUND

MYSELF."
