'Life is conflict!
Life is conflict!
" Fight the good fight!" 1 Timothy 6:12
Life is conflict . Every good thing lies beyond a battlefield — and we must fight our way to it. There must be a struggle to get it.
This is true in physical life: from infancy to old age, existence is a fight with infirmity and disease.
In mental life the same is true. Education is a long conflict: the powers of the mind have to fight their way to strength and development.
So it is in spiritual life: enemies throng the path and contest every step of progress. No one ever attains to spiritual beauty and nobleness of character, except through long and sore struggle.
