Twist of Fate

By KennyDiamond

Fate. It is the supposed force or power that predetermines events. “Everything happens for a reason” and sometimes the results occur in a flash, other times, the results might take a little longer than expected. Whether it is good or bad, things always seem to work themselves out, one way or another. Some situations are mild, like falling down and scraping your knee. And other times they are to the extreme, such as losing a loved one. We all know what has occurred around the world, more specifically in Japan, Indonesia, Taiwan, Philippines and Hawaii. Families were affected by the massive earthquake and tsunami and the earthquake that struck New Zealand as well. Let’s also not forget what happened to the protesters in Libya and more recently, the riots in London.

Life is a great opportunity to create, experience and love but it can be very difficult at times too, it just varies from current events and how you view it as well as how you’ll act. I have never met (much less, heard of) anyone who has never had a time which was difficult or distressful. Misfortune can happen to anybody anywhere at any time and it can be a small thing or it can be a big thing, perhaps something you know is coming because of your actions or those of another.

Sometimes people act on things that caused something harmful to happen to someone else, whether it was intentional or unintentional and it isn’t something that just happens to bad people. For exemplification, not getting the job you hope and applied for or locking the keys inside of your car. Another example is when you’re traveling and you get delayed because of someone else or the bad weather, but these are just minor setbacks. The ones that are important are those that are extreme such as the current unfortunate events happening around the globe and as sad as these events are, what comes from them is something that can help you.

All I’m really trying to conclude is that the approach you take on misfortune can determine how fortunate you have the chance of becoming in the future: preparation. Life is without a doubt unfair at times but with support, I believe you can endure and overcome any obstacle and/or tragedy that fate can put in front of you.
