I want to get to the top of the escalator, but if I stand still, the downward escalator will bring me lower.
This is the waiting where people choose to be acted upon - waiting for life to happen to them. Goals as they see it are dependent upon others and other things.
If I walk downwards, obviously I am not going to get to the top.
This is likened unto rebellions.
If I walk upward at a slower speed than the escalators descent rate, or walk upwards at the same rate it is descending, I won't progress anywhere...
These are those who are giving effort to life, but not giving their life. They wonder, "what's going on? I'm not getting anywhere..."
However, if I walk up at a rate faster than the escalator's descent, I will get somewhere!
These are those that live life at the top of their lungs! These are those that receive strength from God because they spend their lives giving others their strength. These are those that feel that life is not about themselves, but about what God wants, which is the happiness of His children.
The truly happy learn at true happiness is found in giving - one of life's great ironies.
