Parable about fulfilment of the desires.

What the desires cost?
On the outskirts of the universe was one shop. There was no longer a signboard – it was once carried away by the hurricane, and the new owner bother to put it back, because every local resident already knew that the store sells desires.
Assortment of the shop was huge, here you could buy almost everything: huge yachts, apartments, marriage, position of vice-president of the corporation, money, children, favorite work, beautiful body, winning the contest, big cars, power, success and much more . Not only sold life and death – was engaged in the head office, which was located in another galaxy.
Everyone who came to the store (and there are also those who wish that never went to the store and left to sit at home and just keep on wishing) first learned the price of his or her desires.
Prices were different. For example, a favorite work was worth giving up stability and predictability, ready to plan and structure your life, faith in their own strength and letting themselves to work where like it, but not where it is necessary.
The power cost slightly more: it was necessary to give up some of their beliefs, to be able to find a rational explanation for the whole, to be able to refuse to others, to know his worth (and it should be high enough) to allow himself to say “I”, to assert itself in spite of the approval or the disapproval of others.
Some prices seemed strange – the marriage could get almost nothing, but a happy life was expensive: personal responsibility for your own happiness and ability to enjoy life, knowing your desires, giving up aspirations to comply with the others, the ability to appreciate what they have, the permission itself to be happy, awareness of self-worth and importance, stop playing a “victim”, risk of losing some friends and acquaintances.
Not everyone who came to the store was ready to buy the desires immediately. Some saw the prices and just walked away. Others stood long in thoughts, counting cash and wondering where to get more funds. Someone was complaining of too high prices asking for a discounts.
And there were those who were taking out all their savings and received a wish, wrapped in beautiful rustling paper. Other customers enviously watched on the lucky ones, gossiping that the owner of the store was someone they knew and they got the desire just like that, without any trouble.
Shop owner often was offered to reduce prices in order to increase the number of buyers. But he always refused, because the quality of the desires would suffer.
When the host asked if he was afraid to go broke, he shook his head and replied that at all times there will be daredevils, ready to take risks and change their lives, to abandon the familiar and predictable life, able to believe in themselves, have the strength and the means to in order to pay for the fulfillment of their desires.
And on the door of the store is already a hundred years hanging announcement: “If your desire is not fulfilled – it has not been paid yet.”
