Getting to the top involves warfare. The battles can be physical, but they're usually mental and even psychological. Retracing my steps to this point, I suppose I could have gotten here without stepping on the throat of a competitor. I suppose I could opt to not employ the dark arts of deception against my foes. I suppose I could choose to be less strategic, less cunning, and less ruthless than I am now.
But why would I do that? Because the "Christian" God says so? Pfft.
On the path to the top is complete isolation and desolation - and this can be physical or mental. At times, the battle is with your own sanity. When faced with unavoidable circumstances on the way to the top, some moments can test everything inside of you.
You have to keep believing in yourself... no matter what happens, especially because of what happens.
In such circumstances, one reaches for the truth, for what truly feels like light at the end of the tunnel.
