On a windy pier in the ancient city of Joppa, a young man buys a one-way ticket to sail in the opposite direction of his destiny...
The young man, Jonah, had been called upon by God to travel to the city of Nineveh to preach his word.
But, in the heat of the moment, he runs from this calling, boarding a ship and sailing off in the opposite direction.
When a divine storm threatens the ship during its sail, Jonah asks the crew to throw him overboard as he continues his flight from his true destiny.
He's swallowed whole by a whale, living in the belly of the creature for several days, during which he repents for running from his duties and is eventually spared.
This Biblical story (Jonah 1-3) has deeply relevant lessons for all of our lives (that have nothing to do with religion)...
