There are many times I will talk to someone who will tell me that what I am talking about does not happen where they live. They will tell me that their life is easy and that their road is straight and narrow. My either spoken or unspoken answer is that, it does happen here. That if you got off that straight road, which is narrow due to the high walls that you have built or that were built for you, then you could see what is really happening, and then you could make a difference in the world. When you speed through life going 65 on that road with those walls along the shoulder, you miss so, so much. You miss life. You miss your chance to make a difference in it.
