00Possibly, but probably not. It could be, for example, country A gives country B some land in order to obtain peace. Or perhaps it agrees to do or not to do certain things. It could be many such things.02br

00The idea of 'paying a price' is just figurative language. it doesn't mean money in a literal sense.02br

"If it is to be it is up to me" - probably it means something that you have to take the responsibility for your actions...i might be wrong, though. BTW I first heard this expression in Brian Tracy's material on 'No excuses'.

Hi,

No, it means basically 'It won't happen unless I make it happen'.

Please start a new thread next time.
Thank you, Clive
