Lost

Have you ever been traveling in a car, and all of a sudden you realize you don't know where you are? You try and recognize the surroundings, but nothing looks familiar. You look behind you, and you don't really understand how you got where you are. You turn around, but there are so many paths that could have led you to where you are now, you don't know how to get back on track.

So you pull over and stop, and you look around to see if you have a map. You not only have a map, you have two maps. Each one shows you where you are, and each one shows you your destination. But each map has different ways of getting there.

What would seem simple enough, would be to just pick one and go with it.

The first one shows the shortest route, but has a very dangerous bridge that you have to cross to go that way. Once the bridge is crossed, the road is very narrow, and if you need to stop, turn around, and come back the other way it would be very difficult.

The other shows a lot longer route to the same destination. The road is just as hard to navigate, and there are many distractions. This route could take hours, even days more to reach the same destination. And every couple of miles, there is a toll, where you have to pay.

You have to choose one or the other. But will you have enough money to pay all the tolls? Will you make it across the bridge? Will you have enough gas to turn around if need be?

And the other great thing is... you may already be on the shorter route with the dangerous bridge, but there are no street signs, no one will give you directions, and your compass isn't working. You are lost inside ambiguity. You ask for help, yet nothing.

Where Am I?
