Timeless Wisdom of Aesop

The Shipwrecked Man and the Sea

A shipwrecked man struggled mightily against the waves and was finally cast ashore, more dead than alive.

When finally he regained consciousness, after his buffetings with the deep, he saw that the Sea was as calm as a pond.

"How deceitful you are!" he shouted to the Sea. "You enticed men with the calmness of your looks, showing your peaceful side, but when they are in your power you wreak fury against them!"

The Sea, assuming the form of a woman, replied to him:

"Blame not me, my good sir, but the winds, for I am by my own nature as calm and firm even as this earth; but the winds suddenly falling on me create these waves, and lash me into fury."

Beware of people who are controlled by others.
