The Uncertainties Of Life

I've just been reminded how uncertain life can sometimes be. In the course of our life, we sometimes make plans so as not to fail (as the saying goes, failing to plan is planning to fail). Nevertheless, sometimes we are reminded that man proposes but God disposes.

A colleague of mine was supposed to get married on the weekend. A happy occasion, if ever there was one. Unfortunately, no one foresaw what God had in mind to test one's perseverance when my colleague's house was razed by fire a few days before the wedding. How cruel can fate be at times.

In life, we will just need to keep moving on with life, for there will always be tests aplenty on our journey of life. Have faith in the face of adversity and we will emerge stronger and better.

命里有時終須有,
命里無時無強求。
