Once, I listened to someone tell me a story he heard from someone.
There was a man who boarded a plane bound to some place. It was the holiday season and the plane was full of eager and lighthearted passengers. The flight attendants were also all smiles and calm as they walked around and demonstrated the safety guidelines.
During the course of the flight, the man remained comfortable in his seat. There was only minor turbulence and soon, he was almost deep in sleep.
Some time later, he awoke to the sound of hustling and bustling of fellow passengers. He felt the plane and his insides shaking. He looked out the window and realized that they were in the middle of a storm. The plane was in fact now, in major turbulence.
The oxygen masks were not yet dropped but almost everyone began to panic. The older people murmured prayers, while some others cried. It was a chaotic and frightening sight to see.
The flight attendants were starting to look troubled, although they seemed to be trying their best to calm the passengers.
The man remained in his seat, no longer comfortable but anxious. He was scared and he began to imagine the worst.
As he looked around, trying to meet other people's eyes and telepathically telling them to calm down, he saw this woman, all buckled up in her seat, without a trace of fright. It may be accurate to say that everyone but her was scared.
The man thought in amusement. How can it be? How can she be like that?
Slowly, the plane stopped shaking. It was finally through the storm. As the people heaved sighs of relief, the man grew restlessly curious. He walked towards the woman, finally beating his curiosity, "Aren't you scared? How can you be so calm? Everyone was so scared and they thought they were going to die but then here you are, all comfortable without any trace of worry!"
The woman looked at him and smiled, "Oh, I've no reason to worry at all. My dad's the pilot."
