I did some research on the topic before I attempted to write this blog entry. Not all who wander are lost? I found an interesting piece of information. Author, J.R.R. Tolkien used a comparable phrase in his book "The Fellowship of the Ring", the first book of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost". It means that everything is not what it appears to be.
It made me think that people who wonder and seem to be lost are just the undecided ones. They indeed aren't lost they just haven't found what they are looking for. On the contrary, who says they who do not wander are not lost, maybe they just settled for anything. Maybe they just seem lost and all over the place because they like to try out different things. Sometimes wandering is good for you it enables you to encounter things you might not have encountered in a non wandering scenario hence you grow and learn much more.
You know the saying ‘those who do not plan, plan to fail’ I don’t believe that’s true. I believe in destiny, whatever suppose to happen will happen, so any road will take you there, wandering or sticking to the straight and narrow.
I agree that just because a person is settled, has a great job etc etc, doesn't necessarily mean they are 'sorted'. I also think that maybe in a person's life there needs to be wandering periods and stable periods. It also just depends on the person and their path in life.
ReplyDeleteEveryone go through a slump in their life time, in a way that some people find themselves wander, have not decided what they want but it doesn't necessarily means they are lost. People should a purpose and a plan.
