Woe is the feeling you get in your gut when you’ve been on the freeway for an hour, and it occurs to you that you’ve been driving in the wrong direction.

More so, it is a pain you feel in your gut when you realize you have been heading in the wrong direction for a decade, for two decades, for three decades, or more, and the exasperation is so great, the pressure upon your heart so immense, breath is forced from your lips, and you sigh, “Woe to me. I am undone.”
