Kamelot’s Epica Album based on Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s Faust

This is similar to the story behind one of my favorite bands Kamelot the Epica album which was based on Goethe's Faust.

The lead character Ariel was a striving arrogant scholar. Who, with so much hunger for knowledge, he wanted to know everything and left all he had to look for answers that can satisfy his questions. But in the end, all he needed was Helena -- his true love who died for him and in turn saved him from his death. ( the story is too long.)

Love.

I have seen happily married couple get seperated (we don't have divorce here) just because "there's no spark" or "something lacks not sure though" or "we got tired of each other"

Wealth.

I have been with wealthy people. They may have all the money in the world, buy expensive and exquisite things and spend fortunes on nonsense. Always attending parties or hosts parties with people they call friends. But really, at the end of the day, when everyone is home, and at times of need, they are the loneliest ones.

Power.

I came from a political family. This, I'm very much familiar with. Heck, I sometimes use it to my advantage. But then again, I have seen family friends who got consumed with their power that are now paying the price. (I won't go further)

We as humans, never get satisfied with what we already have. We always look for something more. Be it more affection, attention, more money, more power, more knowledge. We are always hungry and thirsty for what we could still have. And will do everything to quench that thirst. But really, you can't. Each discovery will lead to a new one. Which will just continue o

So to answer the question. I'd still choose true love. Which is for me is writing and singing. I don't want romantic love anymore. I'm much better off doing things alone. Than be with someone who I know will never get satisfied with what I can give and I don't want to blame anyone from their shortcomings too. It may appear as cowardice or being wimp but i'm like that. I don't want to risk anyone from being hurt by either me or himself.

So true love it is.
