Rudderless Ship


There are times when you feel like nothing is in your control. Its like a divine conspiracy against you. Best laid plans get screwed. The agitated ocean of life renders your ship rudderless. You are tossed & churned in the angry waters, sucked into the eye of the storm.
What does one do in such a case? Keep trying to hold on to the wheel, making desperate attempts to stick to the course that was charted? Stand firm at the helm & try to take the storms head on, hoping against hope to emerge victorious against nature's fury? Or simply realize the enormous, unrivalled power of the storm, take shelter, hold on & wait for the waters to calm down
before setting sail once again?
When the path you were travelling along seems hazy, do you stick to that path, submitting to a blind hope that it would lead you to the very end you had in mind? Or do you start looking out for alternate paths, where every further step is crystal clear?
