Faith in Fate
Sunday, February 19th, 2006
Have you ever felt like time was moving at
a particular pace? It’s like the world was rotating in accordance to a certain
rhythm…a rhythm which is making the clock’s hour- and minute-hand move in
synchronicity with a fateful happenchance…if it is an event of chance at all.
In moments like these, you would feel as if everything is
right. You’d be at ease and it’s as if you know..you just really know, deep in
your heart, that it’s all happening for a reason. For what reason, you may not
necessarily know. At least not until that instance comes when you feel the
like.."ahh.." or rather, "wow..so this is what it’s all
about..".
The sun would be brighter, the sky a lighter shade of blue.
At least that’s how you would feel like they are when that moment comes. Your
smile would never be as radiant..and your heart, alight with joy.
But what if moments like these are ceased even before they
are set to begin? I mean, who gets to play what in this movie-like setting we
call life? If everything happens in accordance to a certain script then Who’s
writing it? And who’s directing who? These questions, and a series of others
would surely be asked by many. But the fact is, they are never meant to be
answered..or maybe they are..and the only one who could answer them is you.
When the time comes, you would know the exact answer to all of these. Don’t ask
when. When you know…you just know. In the time being, all you have to and
could do is wait. Wait. And have faith.
"Faith in what?", you might ask. One of the motion
pictures I have watched claimed that "…life is not merely a series of
meaningless accidents or coincidences. Uh-uh. But rather, it’s a tapestry of
events that culminate in an exquisite, sublime plan…if we are to live life in
harmony with the universe, we must all possess a powerful faith in what the
ancients used to call "fatum", what we currently refer to as
destiny.".
The bottom line would be…everything happens for a reason.
Questions would have to remain as they are until the right time comes for them
to be answered. Don’t take my or anyone else’s word for it. Have faith in fate
and see for yourself.
