New Perspective

Gathering stalks of the meaningless things into a bundle of something meaningful

Every single thing that happened to me was already written by the hand of the unseen.

The first time I think about it, I did not believe at this thing at all, because as I know, everything happened because of the human’s effort. I believe in God, but I believe in human’s effort and consequences as well.

But, something has changed my perspective about what happened to me.

One day, I was kicked out by a lecturer because I chatted with my friend. I was very ashamed, and feeling regret of course, but anyway I deserved to be kicked out from that class.

Then I walked out the class along with my friend, whom was kicked out from the class as well. We were bowed, and regretted. I think it was normal if she became so upset, for it was her first time being kicked out from the class, and that was with my contribution, I felt sorry for her and for me as well.

But in despair, and gloom tone after felt the wrath of the lecturer, the nice things began to happen; I never thought I would be so gratitude for being kicked out from the class. In the way I unintentionally met someone who treated me for a dinner, and after a very long interesting talk, I walked her home.

After that, I realized that I had left my jacket in my friend’s boarding house, so then I visited her just to take it and went home instead because the clock was almost pointed at 9 p.m. But everything did not walk as what I planned; in her boarding house I had another very long talk. Interesting talk, I did not know why I was so engaged in almost every chat with some people, and I was still wondering why most people almost always tell their secrets to me, the things that they did not want people to know. I was impressed too because I felt good when someone believed me.

In the evening, I realized that the one small miserable thing has brought me to a very interesting life I had never expected. So I always think that there is no such a thing as a totally miserable thing, because everything is like a coin, they have 2 sides. If I sometimes find one side, I will get the other side for a moment later as I turned the coin.

Everything that happened in our life has its own meaning and when we can understand the meaning, we can grasp the meaning of life.
