  • I want you to imagine that you're in a barrel being swept down a river.

  • The water's thundering all around you.

  • You're just about staying afloat.

  • But the water is too strong

  • and too fast to have a chance of getting out of the river and onto the shore.

  • And you've got no idea what's ahead of you.

  • Is that thundering sound you can hear just the river?

  • Or is there a waterfall up ahead and you're just about to tip over into oblivion?
