Yes, I realize that the scuba dude isn't totally complete, but I just really felt like if I kept trying to give this guy arms and fins, it wouldn't look like anything.
So here's a fun fact: if you go scuba diving and try to swim all the way back to the top really quickly without taking adequate breaks, you'll die. They're called decompression stops, and they're essential in order to adjust and prevent nitrogen gas bubbles from forming and entering your organs, especially your brain. Without those stops? Instant death.
Aaaaand the moral: how would life go if you didn't stop and take breaks away from the world? You spend an hour scrolling through your social media feed, your entire day is spent working your tail off at school or work, or even the constant noise in the background-music, radio, TV. Life is a big wheel that won't stop spinning unless you push on the breaks. If we don't take those breaks--I hate to be all doomy and gloomy, but I also value honesty--we're just doomed.
Also, why would God suggest these "decompression stops?" He knows the value in time given to just THINKING. He also knows that this world isn't our ending point, so the more time spent trying to reach beyond the world to the real end goal, the better off we'll be when we get there.
