Rock The Boat

For as many as are willing to rock a sinking boat by shaking awake the helmsman, and providing a swift, valid and proven solution, before more time is wasted or further, maybe irreparable, damage is done, there are SCORES more saying,
“You’re fine. No, really, it’s okay. And you’re okay just as you are, right there, at the helm of your slowly sinking boat. Just take your time. And take those baby steps, too. In fact, I’m sorry anyone woke you. Yes, I saw your distress signal, too; but it’s fine. Stay right where you are. Because where you are right now is exactly as it should be.”
How ridiculous, and reckless, does the latter sound?
That is NOT okay, my friends—Never on a boat, nor in life.
