The Future: Our Big and Wide and Unpredictable Sea

February 25, 2014
     
     The future is a very terrifying, extraordinary, fragile thing. On one hand, we are scared to death of what lies ahead unknowingly in our lives, and on the other, we can't wait to see what it holds. The future is so heavily weighted on what's going on right now, so that one measly choice that you made a week ago that you categorized under the unimportant nothings in the file cabinet of your mind actually changed the path of your life's road to a left turn instead of a right. Pretty freaky, huh?

     The future is like the sea, big and wide and unpredictable. It can be calm and beautiful, but it can also be rough and ugly. We ourselves do not know what our future holds, but that doesn't mean we cannot have a say in what can happen. Although we do not control it, that does not mean we cannot have a say in what happens. We are not completely blind on this roller coaster ride of life, for we can open our eyes and nudge the car to go a little this way or a little that way. Just like we cannot control sea, we cannot control our future, but that doesn't mean we can't steer our boat through the rough, unpredictable waves, right?

   The future is a big and wide and unpredictable sea that we cannot control, but only try to steer ourselves through the rough waves.
