The Dog And The Sign

The Dog And The Sign

An arrow sign is pointing left while a dog is about to go right.

The dog clearly is going his own way
and not heeding the sign.
He is making his own decisions
and showing that he's the boss.
He thinks his life is not predestined,
and the choices are limitless.
He ignores the sign
for he think he knows where he should go.

But this is arrogance on his part.
He should be aware of any sign
so that he can think it over
and be guided on his journey.
He can't do everything alone.
He should acknowledge that he's not perfect
and he can easily be led astray.
The journey through life is not easy
for the roads are never smooth all the way.
They can be straight at times,
crooked or rough.
There are pitfalls and traps
and with no clue of what lies ahead.

This calls for humility
and the need to accept the fact
that every being in the world
is not wise enough to do anything alone,
that there is no such thing
as making it alone
without the help of anybody.
And that no matter how capable he thinks he is,
there is only One who is capable of doing everything.
