Many people feel trapped and have tried everything but remain hopeless about the future. They expected that their actions would prevent disaster from happening, only to watch it happen before their eyes.
And the feeling of being stuck descends on them - in marriage, spiritual limbo, career, job, finances, business, relationship etc. There is a tendency to give up on seeking ways to improve their situation and choose to just sit and do nothing about it. If your car got stuck in mud, would you abandon it or call people to help you push it out?
