He wouldn't have any of that. As far as he is concerned...
NO ONE ARRIVES HERE. The Ultimate Victory could not be Achieved in this world.
In the world we live in, one must stay up or get trampled on. Life in itself is a gift; it's now left to us to prove whether we deserve this generosity, or not. That's why, though we enjoy life, we still have to fight for it.
Now, I needn't remind us that, in a battle, there would be victories and there would be defeats. There are the VICTORS and there are the VANQUISHED. That's life. But against conventionality,
WE ARE NOT FIGHTING ONE ANOTHER. WHAT WE ARE FIGHTING ARE NOT HUMAN!
That is a discussion for another day. Let's make progress..
NOW, if one cannot say he has arrived, what can be done to make us victorious in the long run? Simply by keeping on fighting. The reward is not given here. We must not give up. We must press harder and harder.
We shall arrive...
But not in this World.
P.S: You probably know the man I was talking about in the first paragraph.
His name is PAUL, THE APOSTLE.
