Things Happen


The telephone rings (it's an important call) just two minutes before you leave the house; an unexpected bus materializes and you are able to catch your connection with an only thirty-second wait (instead of half an hour). Do these coincidences suggest anything? I believe they tell us that sometimes things happen without our participation. What does it mean? That we should be grateful and appreciative when they are pleasant and patient and accepting when they are not. Things will go on happening in a way or another; what we have control upon is only our reaction (and consequent mood).
