He trudges on in the desert, as the weight of the basket increases with every step.
Special boots do not help. The glasses he wears obstruct clear vision, The compass shows a certain direction, but he’s not sure why is he following that.
The ineptitude shows. He has never been trained for mental strength and clarity. Loyalty is his forte, and he does whatever the people he worships ask him to do.
The basket carries the fruits of his efforts, which are not sweet.
Yet, carrying on does not make sense, if one is not sure of the objective.
