THE ELECTROCARDIOGRAPH
Life, if we could
dissect and disseminate it, if we could but put it under microscopic
investigation, would resemble the images seen on an Electrocardiograph.
The graphical rise and fall of a heartbeat depicting the
struggles we face each and every day.
Ask yourself this
question, why is it that when the linear progression on an Electrocardiograph
goes flat, it means the patient is dying or dead? Medical professionals will no
doubt answer promptly that, when the machine goes flat, it means the heart
stopped beating.
So how is this relevant
to our lives? What lessons can we draw
from this metaphorical insinuation? I for one is of the opinion that a life
without struggle is no life at all.
Struggle builds
character, struggle strengthens bonds, struggle breeds optimism and hope for
better days.
Struggle is perchance
nature’s sieving bowl, acting to separate the wheat from the chaff.
The French say, “A vaincre sans peril, on triomphe sans
gloire.”
To win without risk is a triumph without glory.
