Once there was a ship known as The Mighty Misery. It was the absolute beast of the seas during that time with so many capabilities that no other ship nor anyone else stood in its path. During one of its journeys, one officer came to the captain and said that they saw some light in the distance. The captain thought it was some ship that did not know the Mighty Misery was in its way. So he asked them to send a warning saying "This is The Mighty Misery".
After a few minutes, the officer came back again and said that they received a reply that acknowledged MM's message, but the light source was still in the MM's path. The captain told them to send another one saying that the MM was moving towards the light source.
The officer came back again and said that they received another acknowledgement, but the light source had still not changed its course. This time, the captain became furious and himself went to the radio and contacted the light source.
Below is the conversation:
Captain: This is the captain of The Mighty Misery.
Reply: Acknowledged.
Captain: The MM is on course towards you.
Reply: Acknowledged.
Captain: If this persists there may be a collision.
Reply: Acknowledged.
Captain: You may not know but this is THE MIGHTY MISERY and it will be your demise if we collide.
Reply: You may not know but this THE LIGHT HOUSE and it will be YOUR demise if we collide.
Captain: Acknowledged
While this seems like a good story or even a joke, there is a lot to learn from this. The most important thing is that most of the problems that we come across in our life are like THE MIGHTY MISERY. In such situations, it is imperative that we have a LIGHT HOUSE of FAITH and HOPE built deep in our soul that can stand against the strongest and meanest of The Mighty Miseries that we will come across.
As long as our faith is unshakable we will not bow down, and so long as hope will continue to be rekindled we will not give up.
