a wasted life happens gradually

The safest road to hell is the gradual one-the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts. C. S. Lewis


One of my mentors said it this way: 'some men die by shrapnal, some men die by flames, most men die inch by inch playing silly little games.'

The fatal waste of a life, like the fatal waste of your money is in small meaningless expenditures.

'be very careful how you live, not as unwise, but as wise, making the most of every opportunity.. do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is' Eph. 5.15-16
