Musing

“Everything happens for a reason” isn’t to be taken literally of course. The meaning of it, according to me at least, is to make you rewind the line of events to the origin and go through each one to evaluate your own involvement and if there has been anything you could’ve done differently. The meaning is to learn from your mistakes so that you wouldn't repeat them. Alas! too often these lessons fall on deaf ears. And (double alas) I have shown selective deafness one too many times. Maybe that is why people say that you learn all your life.
