Answering the whys

As we go through our lives, a lot of questions arise threatening our peace of mind. One of the most confusing and most engulfing questions is why things happen. Sometimes, things happen with no obvious reason, and we kill ourselves trying to find the whys? We try to relate everything happening in the universe to ourselves, as if we are the only centre and focus of the universe, forgetting our real relative size to life.

In truth, somethings happen because of reasons that has nothing to do with us but we just coincidentally were in the field of effect of the universal event. We were in the place and time to be affected, and not that the universe and everyone are conspiring against us.

Indeed, the only control we have is our reaction. How we take the events in and how we react to it, is the only thing that we choose. This is what puts us again and again in the field of effect of those events that hurt us. We fall in the questioning loop and weaken ourselves, making us prone again and again to being hurt.

Our only hope out of this is to break that loop, stop questioning, cease trying to answer the whys. What we need to do is just give in to reality with an open heart. Giving in is a very difficult process, easier said then done. But, to break the circle of unfortunate events, we need to forgive ourselves that we failed to find the answer, to forgive those who caused the pain knowingly or unknowingly.

Forgiveness and giving in is our way to saving ourselves and living a satisfying life.
