Sometimes, if you stand on the bottom rail of a bridge and lean over to watch the river slipping slowly away beneath you, you will suddenly know everything there is to be known. -Winnie the Pooh

Sometimes, it takes time to realize how exactly do you stand in this whirlwind of life. You keep stumbling upon, losing your balance and grasping whatever is nearest to you. Then one day light dawns upon you.. and you are suddenly on your feet walking with sure, quick  strides. This is the pain of learning by experience, something which knowledge or books or observation could not have taught you. Perhaps the wrinkled hands of your instructor or a lean shoulder of someone who cares about you could be valued best at this time. People do play a real role in what we keep experiencing throughout our lives.. even if they are deliberately not a part of it. Atleast in my case, they do. Right now, I am very much strained out. Its like you have been sailing a boat swiftly for years, and all of a sudden a storm brews up.. the ship loses balance, and there is no sense of direction. You forget every other thing except keeping your boat afloat, safe.
