The longer I stay "in the game" the more I understand about why the narrow path is so narrow. It's actually a short route to the right place, but involves some temporary slog uphill and rough ground. The broad path is easy all the way but ends up somewhere you don't want to be.
Some people who appear to be going the wrong way are just zigzagging from the broad path uphill to the narrow path. Course correction is a thing.
Matthew 7:13
New International Version
"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is
the gate and broad is the road that leads to
destruction, and many enter through it.
New Living Translation
"You can enter God's Kingdom only through
the narrow gate. The highway to hell is
broad, and its gate is wide for the many
who choose that way.
