Vincent Van Gogh said
that the fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but
they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore. Maybe they thought that there were far more dangers on land. There
is a call that takes men to the sea. Most people don’t know anything about the
sea and they find it romantic but seamen know better that that. So one might
ask why if they know that, they continue to go to sea; probably because they
don’t have the sense to stay on land.
