The shell and the Ocean

                No matter how far you throw an empty shell in the ocean, it will always find its way back to the shore. At least that’s what you’ll believe, if you believe only in the will. In the will of the shell to go back. But it’s also possible for the shell to go back if it was its destiny to do so. But we all ignore the ocean. Isn’t actually the ocean the one that makes the shell return?

                The ocean – that big blue water, which is the biggest mystery of the planet and which the human beings will never be able to discover all of its secrets and see all of its beauties...it is part of us as we are part of it. All the living creatures came from the ocean, but yet again, it’s still there and it’s still the main source of the Planet’s live forms. But it’s also like the ocean is there to watch over us, to hear us cry or hear us cheer. Upon the ocean’s face we give promises to ourselves or break them. Ocean gives life to the planet…but it also takes lives away. You may also call it simply...God.

                So if the Ocean is God, then it’s destiny after all? For the sea shell to go back to the shore. Because isn’t “destiny” the thing God decides about our lives? But then again, we may ask – does the shell decides that it wants to go back, or the ocean? And if the sea shell is the one that decides that, then shouldn’t be the ocean the one, who helps it find its way back? The ocean helps it as taking it with the flow. That’s glad to hear, that as the logic until now we can say, that it’s not destiny that rules our lives, but God helps us make our decisions come true. That’s good to hear indeed, but what makes God decide that he wants to help us? Here comes again – our will? Is the strength of our determination and willpower the criteria for which our ocean will take the sea shell with the flow to wherever it wants to go?

       We will never know, until we reach our shore.
