“A person needs to stand their ground and not give to the devil.” - G.S.NoteSong

The question should be “what is the result of this action” not the dwelling on if it was or would be a “failure” or “success” because failure and success can mean different things.

God has the ultimate way so no need to compete with the world (it is dysfunctional anyway) when your walking on His path (the narrow path), because His path is the real winners way because of the faith and trust in The WAY, The Truth, and The Life!
