  Any wrongs laid up from a bygone day?

They have come to the top of the ladder - and there is nowhere to go except to jump in a lake.

• You earn money, and one day money is there -- then life says to you, 'What have you got?' But you don't listen.

One day you are a prime minister, and life again says, 'What have you got?' You don't listen. You go on thinking of something else and something else and something else. Life is vast -- that's why many lives are wasted.
