We all know the story of Job, the biblical figure who suffered countless troubles one by one, as a divine test that he couldn’t do anything about. Many of us often feel like Job, when trouble, mishaps, problems and bad luck descend upon us from everywhere and we feel helpless to the point of standing on the verge of the abyss, ready to break down and break away from the difficulties that don’t seem to leave us be. But know that in such cases it is important to understand that everything that happens in the world is purposeful, and today's distress may turn out to be the forerunner of the light at the end of the tunnel that will appear tomorrow - just as you can see from the next wise parable which will prove to you that even something that seems like the worst thing in the world, can turn out to be the life raft you needed...
The only survivor from a ship that sunk in the middle of the sea was swept by the ocean waves and carried off onto the shores of a deserted island. When he woke up and learned of the situation he was now in, the survivor went down on his needs and prayed to god for rescue. However, the days came and went, and help was nowhere to be found. The survivor would comb the horizon every day but would be left disappointed time and again.
