You must be like water
The flowing water in the stream does not worry about the rocks that may intrude into it's path, the water simply finds the path.
Whether one minute you are thwarting those who wrong against you, dealing with those who drain your emotions, or feeling you age and sleep deprivation, and then onto the next someone offers a life preserver for another day, but then another takes one offered hand away. You must calmly adjust. The extent of calm may be varied, but one must quickly remember the adage of the river.
Although rectification may be simple or swift, even if it is not you must deal with the knowledge that when one is on the good path, good will come, but evil is always waiting to bring you down. If you turn to hate and vengeance, then you have lost, this is not saying that you cannot regain footing, but it is admitting imperfection and that there is still more to strive for.
The river was here before us and will be here after we are gone, so of course it has had time to learn the lessons it has to teach us, we can only hope that we achieve the serenity that a river possesses, and can pass it along. As always I am grateful when weakness are brought to the surface for me to reflect upon, and am humbled anew by that which the river so graciously shares with me. I only hope that I can learn the lessons that the rest have to teach before I miss out for not knowing what I should be looking at.

Good points. This especially reflects on my day Friday and it actually helps my thought process, so serendipitous.
However, like flowing water, you have to remember that the rocks can change your path, even slightly. However, you should also remember that in the end, the water will win and wear away even the biggest of boulders.
Good post.
