The human race is a seemingly endless marathon with different people and faces showing up at various endpoints of the race. The endpoints are not uniform for all humans. Some cover long distances;
others cover short distances depending on where they are put and the kind of jerseys they put on. One's performance in the race is determined by type of training one goes through. But certainly, every human ends their race in one way or the other. It is how you end your race that matters, after every display on the track. Your portion of the race will come to an
end someday.
There will be an end to your lifeline. There will be an end to your strength,
An end to your speed,
An end to your skills,
An end to your knowledge,
An end to your learning.
There will be an end to your humility, pride or arrogance,
An end to your position and possession,
An end to your wealth or poverty,
And end to your prejudice, lies and deceit,
An end to your love or hatred.
There will be an end to your kingdom or empire,
An end to your oppression and suppression,
And end to your fear or courage,
And end to your beauty or ugliness,
An end to your clothing or nakedness.
Yes, there will be an end to your world and everything that makes you who you are now, for these are what facilitates your running.
It is time that ushers you to your endpoint. When you reach your endpoint, the baton will be taken over from you and handed to a new face. You either receive exaltation or suffer humiliation. The whole race is about good and bad, righteous and unrighteous, successful and unsuccessful. The choices you make determine how far your endpoint will be and in what manner you will end. Success is limited to you the individual. It differs from one individual to another based on one's aim or target.
Righteousness is determined by one's Creator, who alone watches everything you do.
As for good or bad, it is left to one's society in which they live--the norms and conventions carved for themselves.
At the end of your race, irrespective of the kind of performance you put up on the track, it is the grave that will absorb your remains, so choose the path that ends not in humiliation but in exaltation. Let us choose the path of goodness, love, success and righteousness.
