What do we have in this world that out lasts the eighty or ninety years we have been given? Our children, the things we built, the work we did, the books we wrote are these the things that tell the story of the time we spent on this Planet Earth? What of those who had no children, built no monuments, wrote nothing poetic and did no greater work than digging holes or eradicating forests? Are those lives to be given zero sum, to be remembered for nothing but the failure to impact this world in a defined methodology? Did they fail, were they wasted space as some would have you believe or could there exist a separate definition for success in this world that gives all who breathe its air prescient value? The Lord values each spirit for we are all part of the whole of God. He knows the name of each child conceived, each crying mother, each victorious son and loves all with the same passion. The Lord sets before us two paths, one that leads to darkness, frivolity, self-service, failure and eventually death. And the other that leads to light, significance, value, service to the greater good and eternal life. Both possess pain, both possess struggle, both possess pursuit of purpose and truth, but only one provides fulfillment and eternity spent with a Father who knows the best outcome for us all. Choose life, however painful, joyous or mysterious it is the only path that prepares us for the true life beyond this temporary crucible. Choose life my friends for at the end resides eternal light, joy and realization.
