A survivor on
an abandoned ship
must not only endure
the waves and currents
the whims and fancies of the skies
the harsh and fickle elements
The survivor must aim to be a
fighter
challenger
believer
In order to eventually triumph over
the fears which surround and inhibit him/her
to eventually emerge a
Winner
Such is the same with common mortals
who live their life on humble land.

"For fear, real fear, such as shakes you to your foundation, such as you feel when you are brought face to face with your mortal end, nestles in your memory like a gangrene: it seeks to rot everything, even the words with which to speak of it. So you must fight hard to express it. You must fight hard to shine the light of words upon it. Because if you don't, if your fear becomes a wordless darkness that you avoid, perhaps even manage to forget, you open yourself to further attacks of fear because you never truly fought the opponent who defeated you."~Chapter 56 in Life of Pi by Yann Martel
