Are you really lost if you can point out you're lost?

Read some Ecclesiastes or "Man's Search for Meaning" by Viktor Frankl. Or maybe "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass" for some perspective.

At certain times in life the watering hole dries up, when external and/or internal motives have been squeezed to their last drop it sometimes feels like a desert. Those moments present the opportunity to head down a path to become more authentically loving (Christ-like). Following that lighthouse is always the right direction, no matter how lost you may feel.

Probably yes? If you're lost in the middle of a desert with no idea where to go to find the nearest people, knowing that you don't know doesn't somehow mean you're not lost. And I'm not sure how metaphorically lost in life is different?
