Any enterprise, any structured activity or array of human activities could be conceptualized as a ladder propped up against that high tree. And you may properly believe that you're on the best one of all, a great ladder that's been explicitly designed for reaching the highest fruit of all. And the tragedy, it seems to me, is that many people who have good ladders just become ladder experts, ladder specialists and aficionados. Only those who are willing to let go of the ladder can reach for the fruit. Many people who climb in search of the ultimate fruit tend to cling tightly to their ladder with both hands.
