When our lives pass without contest, conflict, or friction, when our lives pass without success or merit, we’re merely filling existence. Our lives become useless and purposeless. The person who commits, strives, conflicts, penetrates the hardship, seeks the inconvenient, and crosses the ocean of difficulties to build merit or succeed can say that they exist for good.
