Every blessing ignored ...

Every blessing ignored becomes a curse.  I don\'t want anything else in life.  But you are forcing me to look at wealth and at horizons I have never known.  Now that I have seen them, and now that I see how immense my possibilities are, I\'m going to feel worse than I did before you arrived.  Because I know the things I should be able to accomplish, and I don\'t want to do so.
