At least not all the time, I hope, because I am not so sure.
You see, some people obviously do keep their hands off the wheel, or have their eyes off the road every so often. Otherwise where do the traffic accidents come from, all the bruises and bumps, if not worse?
Metaphorically, we certainly don't always have our hands on the wheel of life. And the result: We often become aimless. We drift. We roam. We wander. We make dough but can't make merry. We don't know where we are heading. We are not happy. We are lost.
Or to borrow from a stand-up routine from Rowan Atkinson, better known as Mr. Bean, mimicking an MP (Member of Parliament) ranting, we constantly ask ourselves:
"Where are we? How did we get here? Why did we come? Where do we want to go? How do we want to get to where we want to go? How far do we have to go before we get to where we want to be? How would we know where we were when we got there? HAVE WE GOT A MAP?
"But surely, surely you can see my point. 'Cos what I'm talking about is life…"
Thanks, Mr. Bean. That is a lot to ask anyone, I'm sure. At least we can do this simple thing: When we drive the four-wheeled thing, keep both of our hands on the wheel, where they belong.
Or at least we hope to.
