Story It's like we're all on the Titanic

[Deleted member 18655]

"Fifteen-hundred people went into the sea when Titanic sank from under us. There were 20 boats floating nearby…and only one came back. One. Six were saved from the water, myself included. Six…out of 1500. Afterward, the 700 people in the boats had nothing to do but wait…wait to die…wait to live…wait for an absolution…that would never come."

This quote made me think of all of us here, barely afloat after wreckage in our lives. Some of us will survive, some won't; some will be saved and never look back; some won't...

It's certainly a beautiful metaphor for life in general as some of us experience it. Especially if you remember the part of Andrews going bonkers at one of the officers for not even filling up the already insufficient lifeboats to capacity (and only letting the privileged first class passengers in). What a tragic reality. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
