We sit in the back, with little worry. And trust the person taking the wheel is heading to the destination you seek. But, we forget that if we sit in the back and kick back with leisure and not much on our mind, just letting the meter run.. we can't keep control of the Cab. Ourselves, are supposed to be driving, we drive our own life, we get to where we want on our discipline to choose from taking a left or a right or just keep going straight ahead. The taxi cab will always take us to a wrong destination every once in awhile, but it's our job to turn around and head to the place we are supposed to be. The ride of leisure will only last as long as we keep sitting back and relaxing, but what happens after we hit a dead end ? Turn around ? But, what if we are out of gas or the meter ran to high ? What do we do then ? Are we in control ? Were we ever in control of our destinations, the lefts or the rights ? When we hit a dead end, we finally see who was in control of the cab in the first place. Did you seek to pay attention to where you led yourself ? Or did you just let Cab take it's ways ? That's when your judgment makes you or breaks you.
So, now the question is, whose in control of the ride ?
"And may suffering make me grow and not destroy."

Damn that shitttt was legit!
ReplyDeleteDid you write this yourself? This is some heavy contemplation and writing for someone your age -- very impressive. You acknowledge the problem with just "going with the flow" as they say, which is that we're prone to hitting a dead end and not knowing how to turn around. We have to know what drive us. So what's your answer, Kathleen?
