Growing up I was never a huge fan of the Peanut cartoons. However, I recently ran across one I really appreciated. In this particular episode Charlie Brown has stopped by Lucy's five-cent psychology booth.
The depiction went something like this:
"Life is like a deck chair, Charlie," Lucy says, "On the cruise ship of life, some people place their deck chair at the rear of the ship so they can see where they've been. Others place their deck chair at the front of the ship so they can see where they're going"
Lucy, looking at her rather confused patient, asks
"Which way is your deck chair facing?"
Without a second thought, Charlie sadly replies,
"I can't even get my deck chair unfolded."

I think I would relate well with Charlie Brown.
