The ZigZag epiphany

When I first heard the very common saying that life is a roller coaster ride, I had pictured something like this. A snow covered mountain road with twists and turns and all the in-betweens. If you look closely at this picture, you can see cars and humans all wrapped up in the cold of the mountains and the maze of the road. So like many others, when we were traveling on this convolution, all snowed up and happy as our car made dangerous u-turns every few seconds, we did not know that the view of the road we just made our way through would appear so majestic! Looking down from here at the iconic zig-zag road, I had this epiphany: If at some point we rise up to our astral selves and look at our lives from this perspective, we would see all our difficult u-turns and our short-lived smooth straight lines and would gradually realize that we are forever journeying our own zigzags. Nature is the best teacher after all.
