The Lifeboat……..

Once there was a lifeboat…adrift on the sea of history. For a time all were gathered into the lifeboat. All in the lifeboat worked to protect every other from despair of being consigned to an ignoble fate. All in the lifeboat had faith in their ability to protect their fellowman from despair. But, there came a time when the strong in the lifeboat lost faith in their ability, or they succumb to greed to protect themselves from fate. Then it was that they conspired to rid the weakest among them to the raging seas, they rationalized the decision by say, “they we consign to angry seas were responsible by their actions.” So it was that those in the life boat consigned to fate of despair within an angry sea. Yet, the strongest within the lifeboat did not feel the security that their strength should impart by due to their strength. So they did conspire to consign those of slightly lesser strength to the anger sea of fate…..so it was that at last only a few drift within the lifeboat while the bulk of their fellowman was sent under the wave of vagaries and undisciplined fate.
