Reflection: Are You Partying at the Wrong Time?
If you are enjoying your holidays on a big cruise liner that safely glides over the calm sea, your focus is on fun, leisure time, drinking, partying and other kinds of pleasures. But if the ship is caught up in a deadly storm and is about to sink within an hour or two, your priorities change in a moment, dramatically. Instead of continuing to indulge in partying, fun and other leisure or entertainment activities, you are now investing all your strength in whatever is needed to save lives – your life, the lives of your family, and others around you. The urgency changes your priorities. The tragic truth is that so many of us are immersed into the pleasures of partying so much that we do not want to hear the storm raging and lightning striking all around us.
