There were two boats gliding along the river past one another in opposite directions when suddenly they hit each other with a glancing blow.  The pilot of the first boat immediately started venting in anger with a high-pitched voice and the greatest of rage until he discovered that the other boat was entirely empty and pilotless.  Thereupon, slightly embarrassed, the one pilot resumed his normal course unbothered by the incident.

As you go about life, learn to empty your boat of all its driven burden.  If your boat is seen as empty, you will sail along, encountering no protest or resistance.
