“When flowing water … meets with obstacles on its path, a blockage in its journey, it pauses. It increases in volume and strength, filling up in front of the obstacle and eventually spilling past it….
“Do not turn and run, for there is nowhere worthwhile for you to go. Do not attempt to push ahead into the danger … emulate the example of the water: Pause and build up your strength until the obstacle no longer represents a blockage.”
that’s right, by doing so we get wisdom through our efforts, if we have no obstacle in our path we might not be able to achieve anything at all. Like how I believe you don’t get wisdom from success, you get it from fighting the hurdles in your way.
