Trials in life
Was talking to a friend last night. Somehow touched on the topic of the lessons in life. Something which I have come to believe in recent years. I was proposing that everything that happens in life is trying to teach us something. Something which perhaps you would probably require in life later, perhaps not immediately, but certainly at some point in time. Thus, it is also possible that there are recurrence lessons manifest in different format if you haven’t learn your lesson well in the previous scenario where it presented itself. Okay, let’s not make it so difficult. Think of it as a remedial, detention class or even repeating your grades when you don’t make the mark.
It all started when things doesn’t go well and I was trying to make sense at why certain things happen in a certain way. The only consolation that I could find was that it was trying to teach me something. Indeed, it could just be me trying to make sense of things that is happening, or a particular character flaw that I would always react the same way even in different situation that would have caused things to turn out in exactly the same way, the way which I did not want. However, in another perspective, it could also be that life is giving you a chance once again to learn what you have failed to earlier.
If you are somehow given a scenario which kept ending the way that you do not want it to be, and you know how you would react, given the same conclusion, wouldn’t it appears that life is de javuing itself so that you would learn. Of course, there are certainly other plausible explanation on this, but this is how I see it.
The fearful thing now is that is this lesson so important that I have to learn it. Is there a much greater trial in life in front of me that I have to learn this lesson, by hook or by crook so that I would be ready when the time comes.
Or Perhaps, I have just been watching too many anime….:) I certainly hope the latter is true.
