Roads and Signs

by

"In this life, we are all on a road full of signs. Some of us get lost while others can’t read signs. Some don’t want to read the signs while others don’t see the signs at all. Each of us is different. Those who see the signs and follow them reach their destinations. We’re on the road, and we’re signs to each other."

That was a part of the dialogue in the series called "Westerner Abdel Kader or Al-Khawaja Abdel Kader".

I think I'm this kind of person who ignores signs when they don't go with my preferences. Consequently, I end up in the wrong destination and at some point, I have to turn and go back.

On the path, I feel it inside and in the air that there's something wrong, but I lie to myself. I try to convince myself that it's the case only because fears make me feel uncomfortable about going ahead. Later, I regret it and wish I didn't go that path!

Sometimes, I act like the kind of person who doesn't see signs at all. As if there's a veil above my eyes, I don't see clearly. Signs that others easily see, and they either follow or avoid them after observing them. I keep going in circles. No matter how far I walk, I end up at the starting point.

What kind of person are you on the road?
