Persistence in all things could be a good thing or could be a bad thing, I guess it depends on a person’s motivation and character. If a person is persistent and has all good intentions their persistence could still come back to bite them in the behind, where as another person who is only persistent in running up the social ladder or getting the upper hand on a situation or even another person can sometimes be very successful.
I think that things like these are their to remind us that life isn’t fair. Someone who is only trying to do good for another group or person can sometimes never succeed, or not without running through a huge obstacle course that seems to be directly put in their way with the purpose of making life hard for them….And yet someone else can have the most selfish motivations of all and come out on top.
Sometimes you really have to wonder if being persistent is even worth it…you keep climbing and climbing and yet the top of the mountain still seems out of reach. All you want to do is to see the view from the top and be able to recognize that the feeling of being on top is worth the hike up and the skinned knees from the trips and falls.
It’s impossible to know what will be worth it until you see the outcome. In the mean time I guess you just need to keep putting one foot in front of the other and hope that you come out on the top, and not squished beneath another’s boot.
