====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.
