Out drifting in the water, waiting to catch some waves, an man probably in his 50s, started freaking out on another surfer in the water. He told him to piss off, and that this water wasn’t meant for him to learn in.
Laughing at the situation, I find it ridiculous, because he’s doing more harm to his own wellbeing, than to person who’s day he probably ruined….The older "Gentleman" keeps expecting the world to move just for him, expecting everything to go perfectly – when the world doesn't, anger is used to re-enforces his expectations - talk about setting yourself up to fail.
As for learning, the best way to learn is to make mistakes. If you can’t at some point move up to ‘the bigger waves’, to learn, grow and understand, how will you ever get to ride them? He’s trying to reach his own goals or chase down a dream. Maybe, he’s terminally ill and had one more day to spend, which he decided to spend trying to surf. Your Mamma always told you not to judge a book by its cover, so why judge people by the first thing you see? Scratch a little deeper and you might find out the “why” of people actions. You should listen to your Mamma, she is wise!
Why is this Old man on such a mission to destroy his livelihood? Frustration gets the best of humanity on some days, especially to those who don’t realize what is going on in their hearts/minds. We’re so busy chasing the future, that we forget to live and enjoy today. We compare our lives to others and wonder why we can’t have more. Frustrated by ridiculous expectations we’ve set to the world around us, which keep disappointing us obviously, we take out our problems on others.
Whatever we do in live, will echo in eternity with no way of changing what happened yesterday. Forever and ever, our actions remain… I don’t want to be remembered like this, I don’t want to look back and even remember myself like this. I am sure no one truly does.
