Where does life take us? Does it take us wherever it wants to or do we drive the bus? I’m fairly sure there are probably a million interpretations of who really is in control. Is it God? Fate? Buddha? Crazy Indian snake/elephant god?
I think life is just a long series of choices, opportunities and challenges intertwined with free will. Whoever is driving the bus allows us our own will to turn down whichever road we fancy. However, therein lies the problem. So many of us are distracted drivers. Talking on our cell phones and missing our turns. Drinking and taking the wheel and driving the car right off the road. We are all, pretty much, terrible drivers!
The solutions are multiple. The brilliant adage of “let God take the wheel” is always a go to. There is the aggressive attitude of I’m gonna cut everyone off and make sure I make all my turns and there is the scared person with their blinker on for 100 miles trying to get into the exit lane. Oh don’t forget the crazed uber driver that just runs all the lights and makes everyone else’s life around them miserable. They don’t care. Red lights be damned!
I’m not sure which one is correct or if all of them are or none of them. Sometimes I think I’m the best formula F1 driver on the track and sometimes I think I’m the grandma that has her blinker on for the last 10 miles that just caused a 2 mile pile up.
Life is difficult. That road is bumpy. There are literally thousands of exits. Many lead to no where but a dead end. How do I know which one to take? Which way to turn? Fact is we don’t know. Some people get lucky and take the right exits. Some end up in the dead ends. Then some of us end up on the south side of Chicago with our car on blocks because someone jacked our rims.
Where is the store for new rims?? How do we get the tires back on and get back on that road to the next exit? Turn around from those dead ends? I don’t have any answers. But one thing I do know is that the road keeps going. We need to identify who the wreckers are along the road that are willing to tow us into the shop to get the new rims and who the car jackers are. There certainly are a lot more jackers than wreckers.
Perhaps it’s better to drive in a caravan. Worked against u boats. But does it work in nature? The lion always gets the weak wildebeest. We have all seen animal planet. Some unsuspecting animal turns left instead of following the heard straight and bam next thing you know you are lunch for a pride of lions. One simple wrong exit and it’s over!
I guess the purpose of this is to convey that it really isn’t in our hands. You might be the unlucky animal or the F1 driver but regardless of what you may think or believe you are only one tiny turn from being the other. Proceed with caution and find a good caravan!
