I don't know if this will make sense, but....

Negative forces.



Remember that a ship can only be sunken if the sea gets into it. That is, if the ship is broken in some part, and in turn allows the water to pour through. Even one as great as the Titanic cracked and crumbled when the damage was too great.

Being on the sea is not the same as being a part of it.

The sea water, it is salty, no?
But what of the fish in the sea? Is the flesh of the fish salty?

These fish live their lives swimming in the sea, yet the saltines does not seep into them. They live.

How of those up high on the ship's deck? Are they part of the sea? No, they are on their isolated world, believing that they are living the life of the seas. They  know not of the current's strength, let alone how to swim against it. They sit on their decks ooh-ing and ahh-ing in amusement at the ups and downs the sea brings them.

In the open sea, they fear. They fear that should there be any break in their saviour, the almighty ship, then they will surely drown. For they have not lived the lives of the fish in the sea. They are not born for that. Is it fair then to judge a human for its capability to swim and live. In the sea as such a fish?

To make sure that their ship does not break, they make rules. Rules that they must all abide by. Any risk of the ship being broken must be immediately taken down. For they fear what will happen should they be part of that sea. Do not even speak of wanting the sea water. Bad luck, they say.

So there they stand, on the decks, and as the occasional splatter of the waves comes up to them, they are quick to wipe it away.

What would they say if anyone declared they wanted to jump into the sea? "No, we must stop him. That is our duty to save him"

















Forgive them for their ignorance, for it stems from the fear of the unknown. They fear the worst, and can only assume the worst.
You. You can be that generation that breaks free that ignorance. Embrace. Accept. Love. Instead of judging and isolating as they have done, educate.

The ones who have knowledge of the strength of the current are more likely able to overcome it.
