I never was any good at allegory.
Waiting out the storm does not guarantee that you will not be swept away in it and drown. There are no guarantees. Some times the best course of action really is just to jump in and let the current take you. Standing on your roof and watching the cars float by may feel safe. But in doing so you never thought about your foundation washing away and you wind up in it anyway, against your will and without a plan. Your perceived safety safety was an illusion.
The foundation swept from under you, you cling to what you can to stay afloat and become angry at the others who still have a roof to stand on, a home to return to when it all passes.
You thought it'd always be there; another storm meant little. You could return to your comforts and familiarity soon enough.
Now you're homeless and dangerously close to being lost at sea.
