Making
It
In
the twin cities it is said in jest that if one makes
it
in Kitchner, he moves to Waterloo; but one
may
well ask, in earnest, if he makes in Waterloo,
where
does he move to?
The
ladders of life have a limited number of rungs,
and there
is only room at the top for a few; but
people
struggle to succeed, because this is what
life
expects people to do.
After
years of struggle, one makes it to the top only
to learn
that his life is full but incomplete; and
he
wrestles with himself until he can take no more,
and
he goes on a quest for life’s meaning.
He
may succeed, or he may not; it all depends upon
his account
with God. If he fails, he is bereft;
and if
he succeeds, he will return to life to repair
all the
damage he did getting to the top.
