i read this analogy in CS Lewis' "mere christianity"....and here's what i got from it:
if we are all ships, sailing along the open sea.... instead of focusing so much on Rules and Regulations (ie, Do Not Run Into Eachother!), why don't we focus on Ourselves, taking care of our condition, making sure we have maps, having good crew and vision, *so that* we will already be in the best condition and clearest sight to NOT run into eachother...there will always be storms, but if we continue to do our best, it will be ok.
focusing on the "rules" of not bumping into eachother doesnt really help when a lot of the boats are broken down, in bad condition, don't have right tools to "see" clearly etc.....
