Prager H2: In an election week, Republicans are very happy; Democrats very sad. King Solomon has some very good happiness advice: this too shall pass. Best to keep an even keel. Euphoria doesn’t last. But neither does most sadness.

And on that note, people tend to think in a depressed or sad state that they will become happy by engaging in certain behaviors.....know this: what they plan on doing is euphoria, not happiness, and that, by its very nature cannot be lasting.

People can drown in a rip current for the simple reason that they naturally struggle to get back to shore when they realize they’re being drawn forcefully to the ‘deep’.  This is a big mistake because the current is so strong that even an Olympic swimmer might have trouble getting back to shore that way.  Too much energy is expended in the effort, people tire easily and that’s how they drown God forbid.

So what to do?


  1. If caught in a rip current DO NOT FIGHT THE CURRENT.
  2. If you are a good swimmer, find the white foam of the waves and swim parallel to the shore toward the waves.  Once you reach the wave area, either ride a wave or swim to shore.
  3. Another option is to allow the current to take you out to sea.  There is no reason to panic.  The currents only go out about 70 yards.  Once you get pulled beyond the forceful current you can safely and easily swim to the right or left in order to reach an area which brings waves back to shore.
  4. If you don’t feel able to do either of the above, face the shore and raise one arm to call for help.

While I was lounging in my bed yesterday, getting down on myself for doing ‘nothing’ with my life, it occurred to me that I could just accept this as a temporary stage and wait it out.  I realized that there are rip currents in life as well as in the ocean.  We often used the allegory of the waves approaching the shore and returning to sea to represent life’s ups and downs.  So then what is a rip current?  Well, I figure a rip current comes unexpectedly.  It is more forceful than a wave; it doesn’t knock us down, it actually pulls us out to the deep water.

I decided that yesterday I was in a rip current of life.  And the more I struggled with my reality, the more tired and fatigued I became.  Remember rule no. 3 – Do not fight the current. 

I could choose to swim parallel to the shore toward the foam (more familiar ground), I could just let it pull me out until I’m past the danger zone and make my way back to shore, or I can ask for help.

I decided to swim parallel to the shore, ie. I began doing little, yet important things from my bed – like phone my aunt in Florida.  At the end of the day I would have a short yet meaningful list of things accomplished even in my lethargic state.  That in itself brings me to stand on solid ground.  I wasn’t so useless after all.

The thought of letting myself go and get pulled deeper was compelling yet it takes a lot of faith.  We have to know where we’re holding.  And I didn’t feel so bad off that I needed to call someone for help.  Yet, sometimes that’s exactly what we need – a friend who cares.

That time would probably work for me.  I wasn't able to call in so much in the past, but when I did, I enjoyed it very much.
