people, situations and just life in general is stunningly like the Lazy River. you know, that stream of water that just flows in a loop and you sit on round floats on top of it and slowly drift around. it doesn't push particularly fast, and in fact it's really mild, just gently nudging you along in the direction they want you to go. that is, it's mild until you try to stand your ground and go against the flow. then, BLOODY HELL it's one tough struggle. it's just so much easier to go with the flow, to just seeming go faster and accomplish more, but in actual fact you aren't really going anywhere if you just drift along without really thinking about where you're going. and it's really hard to get out of it, because the current just nudges you on and on in that circle and it's so tough to stand your ground/ go against it.
to get out, you must wait for the opportune moment. like in the lazy river, it's well nigh impossible to just scramble out as and when you want, because the current is really so strong. but there are little entry and exit points along the way, you just have to look out for them.
also, you need to be prepared. you can't just drift along, spot the exit point and exit. chances are you'd be too far away to get across, or you'd be a fraction too late and miss it. you need to look ahead and prepare what you need to do, being focused on what you want. you cannot just suddenly decide you want to take a stand and anyhow attempt to take one. it won't work.
thirdly, you need the strength/ skill. to fight the current, you need strength and knowledge, because without that you will be weak and fall and the current will just continue to sweep you along and away.
interesting. people are so mild, and you don't even realise how strong they are until you go against them
