"I may, I suppose, regard myself, or pass for being, a relatively successful man.  People occasionally stare at me in the streets--that's FAME.

 I can fairly easily earn enough to qualify for admission to the higher slopes of the Internal Revenue --that's SUCCESS.

 Furnished with money and a little fame even the elderly, if they care to, may partake of trendy diversions--that's PLEASURE.

 It might happen once in a while that something I said or wrote was sufficiently heeded for me to persuade myself that it represented a serious impact on our time--that's FULFILLMENT.

 Yet I say to you--and I beg you to believe me--multiply these tiny triumphs by a million, add them all together, and they are nothing--less than nothing, a positive impediment--measured against one draught of that living water Christ offers to the spiritually thirsty, irrespective of who or what they are.
