I think there are a lot of parallel in leading an obedient life and correctly flying an airplane. If you pitch your nose up too much, you may climb for a while but eventually you are going to stall and fall like a rock, even with all the power you can muster. Isaiah 14:12. If you pitch your nose down too much, you impact the ground real fast. The goal is to stay true to your heading and not getting blown off course, flying as straight and level as you can most of the time, despite being buffeted by the wind and other adverse weather conditions, stay alert and watchful to avoid collision with other traffic, follow the prescribed traffic pattern, do not be rebellious and decide to make up your own traffic pattern, communicate with traffic controller and do exactly as they tell you, make decisive corrections when necessary, and you will arrive at the correct destination in one piece, presume that you didn't run out of fuel because of lack of planning due to failure to read the manual.
