Gravity: A Parallel, Part 3

     Finally the last part of this parallel. 
    One must also be aware that when traveling downward on a slope the sooner you slow you course the safer you will evidently be when headed downward.  It is much harder to stop as you descend.  For this analogy we will use a cruising car (one some of us may have heard before). 
    This old car has clunky engine, old rusted brakes, and some steering.  As you move down the hill, in this bucket of bolts, you can swerve along without difficulty.  As you pickup speed you start to notice that the steering becomes more difficult and the brakes do not work with the same power as they did when you first started.  Pretty soon the steering and the body of the vehicle start to vibrate rapidly, which late becomes a violent shaking motion.  You try to stop the old rust bucket but the brakes simple haven't enough strength anymore and give way.  Your steering it as best you can to stay on the road but even that gives way in the end.  The only way to survive: bail out.  You open the passenger side door and leap as far away from the car as you can into the grassy hillside.  You survive but are badly battered and weak.
     It would seem obvious is this case, that avoiding using the car for a cruise would have proved to ensure the safety of the individual.  Truly one who avoids sin and resists temptation are better off than those who must repent and clean themselves of it.  But lets look at the recovery process.  As stated earlier it requires less energy to travel a decline than an incline, the same with repentance.  It requires more effort to repent and rectify our wrongs than it is to do wrong.  And it is continually difficult to climb the hill and progress toward our eternal goal of Endless Joy and Happiness as well, but without the pains of sin and regret.
    I pray that this parallel may prove useful and assist with our understanding of eternal principles.
