 AK> ----- The end of the citation -----

 AK> Can we replace "live out" with something more common?

maybe a rephrase?

 "They were seeking the treasure of their Personal Legend, without actually
wanting to live the Personal Legend."

but then one should also consider the time of the writing and how things were
said/written at that point in time...

i was helping a friend writing a book... i was proofreading and sending back
corrections... the problem was that i was correcting a lot of colloquialisms
that they had specifically put in to bring those speaking habits more to life
and make the characters more realistic for the area in which they lived...
