Are You Stuck In The Jungle?

In choosing, we find a way

When you really have to act, and you don’t know what to do and have no way of finding out, it is better to choose a random direction and stick to it than to turn back or stay put, hesitating indefinitely.

It is like being lost in the middle of a thick jungle without a compass. You could choose to stay in one spot but would eventually die of either hunger, thirst, or being eaten by that large ominous noise that you hear in the brush… so, what do you do?

Well, you set off in a direction, any direction. You hope that if you walk long enough, that somehow, someway, you will make it out of the jungle. What happens if you walk for 5 hours and decide that there is no improvement? Would you turn around to walk five hours back to where you started? That does not make any sense. Guess what is still at the same spot you left? Hunger, thirst, and that big fellow in the bush, with the buggy eyes and abnormally large teeth, looking at you. No, so you keep yourself moving, working, searching, hoping, and then after a long while, probably much longer than you had imagined, you find a way out. You somehow survived. But why did you survive?
