"Everything happens for a reason".
It's a well enough known saying, whether said in the context of religion or making yourself and others feel better about bad things that happen in life. But in reality, it is a doctrine by which if you abide, you will always be able to find peace, no matter what happens and whatever situation you find yourself thrown into. I try to live by this, surrendering myself to the will of God and believing that indeed there is a greater meaning to life, and that as a mere speck of unimportant existence within the vast expanse of the universe, I will never understand the answer to the always asked question that we never seem to tire of voicing, yet can never comprehend.. 'why?'
Sometimes it takes us a life time to let go of a grudge against the hands that fate has dealt us, and some people are unlucky enough to always hold that bitterness in their hearts. However, just once in a while, we may be blessed enough to let go of it all, and in that moment of freedom, finally comprehend all the wonderful things that have come about as a result of something that initially we could only see as being another event that broke our heart.
This past year, if anything, has made me realise more than ever that I truly am content to believe and continue to live by the phrase that 'everything happens for a reason'. And once you manage to do so, you will find a peace that you never thought you could feel again..
