A story is told of Odysseus, a Greek warrior and sailor.
One day, in one of his voyages, Odysseus found himself in the island of Calypso.
Calypso the goddess, desired Odysseus and offered him everything that he has ever desired for, pleasure, comfort and even immortality. But on one condition, he remains in the island forever.
Odysseus accepted the offer and enjoyed all the pleasures of the world at the Bossom of Calypso.
But after some time, Odysseus, intoxicated with a comfortable and a predictable life began to get restless.
He began to yearn for something more.
He faced a choice, to stay in the island and remain pampered forever
or to leave the island and face uncertainty and discomfort.
Odysseus, chose the latter.
He made a boat with his hands, left the island and sailed towards the storm.
