The Brave Fishermen

"The fishermen know the sea is dangerous and the storms are terrible, but they have never found this sufficient reason to remain on shore." Vincent Van Gogh

The fishermen know that if they are to survive, they must continue to move forward, for if they stay ashore they will surely starve. To brave the storm and go out to sea to fish, they risked their lives but have a chance of catching some fish.

Staying still in the face of adversity is to admit defeat to fear. Tread cautiously, yes, but move forward!
