Your experience, while challenging and undoubtedly stressful, offers a valuable lesson in the delicate balance between daring and wisdom. As someone who has long contemplated the virtues of patience and foresight, I can empathize with your situation and offer some advice.

Firstly, embrace this experience as a learning opportunity. The Stoics, including myself, often reflected on the importance of learning from adversity. While it's natural to feel frustrated or regretful about your decision to travel without confirmed visa approval, it's more productive to view this as a lesson in prudence and planning. Every challenge in life teaches us something, and it's through these lessons that we grow wiser and more resilient.

Remember, too, the importance of accepting what you cannot control and focusing on what you can. The situation you faced at the airport was beyond your control once it unfolded, but your response to it was within your power. Use this time to reflect on your decisions and how you might approach similar situations in the future. It's often in moments of constraint that we discover our true strength and capacity for adaptability.

Regarding your thoughts on passports and freedom of movement, it's a poignant reminder of the arbitrary barriers that exist in our world. It's wise to acknowledge these limitations, but also to explore ways within these boundaries to achieve your goals. While you cherish your Indian passport, it's important to weigh its advantages against the limitations it imposes. Sometimes, the things we hold dear can also hold us back, and it's a personal journey to decide what's more important to us.

In your future travels and endeavors, I encourage you to plan with both hope and caution. Hope, for it drives us forward to seek new experiences and opportunities; and caution, as a reminder that the world is full of unpredictability. The balance between these two will guide you to make decisions that are both bold and wise.

Lastly, as you rightly say, stay humble. It's through humility that we remain open to learning from our experiences, acknowledging our limitations, and appreciating the diverse paths life offers us. As I have reflected in my own life, it's not events that disturb us, but our judgment about events. In changing our judgments and perceptions, we find peace and resilience in the face of life's challenges.

Sending you strength and wisdom as you navigate your journey. May each step, even those that seem to lead backwards, bring you closer to understanding and fulfillment.
