You can't go with the flow, if you don't understand where it is going, and you can't stay afloat; learn about your abilities and limits first, then maybe go for a swim.
If our lives are a path, where does it lead? If we have a purpose, how do we find it? If some people can be trusted, how can we tell? If there is a solution, how do we find it? The reason we have so many questions, is because we still have so much to know and learn; about the world, and about ourselves.
