Imagine a wide thoroughfare bustling with traffic during peak office hours. Now imagine yourself standing in the middle of it, on a divider let's say, fast moving cars and buses and bikes rushing past you, the gusts of air brushing against your face. Now you have to move, to get down from the comfort of the raised platform and to make your way across the impossible traffic..how do you do it..which way is indeed the right way? Or is there anything right at all.
Finally you put a foot down and then the second (only because dangling in between is more dangerous than the other option). The traffic is intense. You can't even see the other side of the road. Suddenly you hear a honking much more intelligible than the surrounding din. Oops! a car is trying it's best not to run over you. Future doesn't matter now, all you want is to save yourself from this one vehicle, this one time. You let it pass and then move a few feet ahead, a different car but similar fate. Now you are no longer thinking about the other side, all you are concentrating on is the next oncoming vehicle and on saving your skin one more time...
This becomes the norm. The fast paced vehicles the truth. The other side of the road a myth. Maybe you are not crossing the road at all. Maybe you are just walking in the traffic against the flow. You will never know because there is no time to ponder. Infact there is hardly any time to breathe.
Maybe staying on the divider was the better choice. Maybe you should seek help, cross and stay there, away from traffic. Or maybe you should get a car for yourself. But the answers are not to be found. In order to judge you need more experience, and for that you need more time! But time is what is missing the most...
Every step taken decides the route you are choosing. And the chosen route makes all the difference!!
Walk while there is a chance.
Also walk because you have been sitting for a long time.
Walk your own walk and chalk your own route.
And that will make all the difference.
