A Great Man once said..
life itself is a Mystery.
In other words,there are so many things man can't account for despite the innovations of science.we can just assume,speculate and predict but can't really identify the ruling force behind every possible outcome.
I have always have these intuitions but it all dawned on me on a calm evening, though noisy as i was outside but atmospherically calm. I had just came back from a bride price payment in my family compound,it was my first time experiencing such an ordeal. Never knew how intense it could get among family members as they bicker and argue for shares as regards the money dropped by the in-law as custom demands.
I couldn't get a share in the dividend as I was regarded as a young boy amongst Married men. Though segregating as it may seem, it wasn't disheartening as it was expected.I came home with my cousin after the occasion. Sitting in a nearby shop to the house , we decided to play a game of whot to keep ourselves entertained.
We started out slowly and gradually, enjoying the game as it goes. In the course of the game, I noticed that when you are with your last card and you signify to your opponent, He's pumped up to try to sabotage your checking and by so doing may likely intend on changing the game streak ( shapes or number). What he doesn't know is that he may in turn likely change it to the very one you have unknowingly to him , which could make you check up. If you are familiar with the game of whot you would be able to relate.
This happened repeatedly and so surprisingly, against all odds which led me to think that
The probability is almost zero by mathematical calculations but doesn't negate the part of possibility. It is so uncertain, unplanned and unpredictable yet it happens over and over again which prompts the idea that the fact that the probability of something happening is almost zero doesn't mean it's not possible. Probabilities at the end of the day are just probabilities, they can't account for turn of events .
life is too broad, vast and mysterious. Those unforeseeable circumstances, unpredictable occurrences, unexplainable happenings that propels most outcomes irrespective of individual effort are what makes life mysterious and unfathomable hence the notion LIFE HAPPENS .
Have you ever wondered why at certain times, things may just likely work out in your favor effortless while at other times it seems as though the universe is against you ? ..... you just can't tell what's happening in between or better put BEHIND THE SCENES which prompted such an occurrence. As unexplainable as it is , it is what it is. LIFE HAPPENS.
I've always had this thought line and do believe in life. I believe life happens, the world is like a snooker board while we are the balls, when u hit a ball with the baton, the ball moves and hit another and it goes on simultaneously..in other words , whatever we do has an effect on ourselves and on others either positively or negatively. I believe we are the ruling force behind everything happening but because we can't control the actions of others even as they affect us , we are left to have faith in the presence of supernatural being in directing the aftershocks of those actions of others as well as that of ourselves. I believe that that's where FAITH came in existence (the believe of the unknown) .
The belief that at the end of the day everything will work out in our favor (FAITH). what philosophers or psychologist refer to as being OPTIMISTIC. That belief system is due to the fact that man have realized that not everything are within our control, so we just have to let them go and hope for the best possible. LIFE HAPPENS.
A Great Man, Morgan Housel once said and I quote ....
This is all due to the fact that at the end of the day ... LIFE HAPPENS .
