An unpredictable road...

Its yet another day with a thought crossing my mind. I get these earned time to share a piece of write-up that illuminates me this moment :) When we step out of our safe den, out of our home we do not know what we shall encounter. But most of the times, we learn through exposure to this unpredictable environment - different people, different situations, different works....anything out of the blue can come up, do come up everyday ! We are told , taught to be wise but things are easier said than done , I guess you agree to it ;) And can wisdom be inherited, bought, learned , acquired easily ??? Nope, I don't think so. There's a huge difference in knowing a thing from a hearsay or from someone learned/experienced  and actually doing a thing. Unless we do a thing, it is always a vague guessing, in fact a long wastage of time and of our own experience. The only way of being wise is knowing our ignorance and trying to dispel that ignorance through all possible means. In the way, we may fumble, we may tumble , we may stumble ...whatever ...at least we try, we do a thing in our own way experiencing it and knowing at the end how things are ???  Its the only way we can be sure of doing a thing ,  of knowing it ! Getting precautions from other's experience can be a guide of course but situations may change and we would have to face an altogether new thing . Just take an e.g, all of us know the basics of road rules and regulations  , of the pedestrian  to walk on the footpath , of the riders  to follow the traffic rules , etc. But once we are on the road, nothing is regulated , it can't be regulated , there can be no proper co-ordination among all the people on road. What happens ?? Each of go through the way amidst the crowd finding the best possible means to get to our destination without breaking the rules, without hurting ourselves and others as well. Yes, nothing is predicted and we go on to face the unpredictable road, a usual yet unpredictable walk, ride  on our own way !!! And Life seems just like an unpredictable road at every turn , at every stoppage , through the twists and turns,ups and downs , pits and potholes ....and what not ?? All we care is to safely arrive at home again after all the daily  duty , rides , speculations , negotiations , discussions ....blah blah ...getting the day done with a little wisdom added on our cap ;)) We wrap up knowing that everything has to be done in our unique way !
