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.

The survivor would comb the horizon every day but would be left disappointed time and again.
