Such is Life

Many things happen in this world to which we cannot find explanations. We cannot understand why some babies are born deformed or why healthy young people can one day suddenly be infected of a fatal disease. We often ask the question ¡§why me?¡¨ when we are confronted with an unbearable reality such as a diagnosis that we got cancer. We wonder if it is something that we did and as a punishment we have to …

…suffer grumpily and live miserably whenever a trouble comes along or else we can accept our sufferings with a cheerful attitude and say to ourselves, ¡§other people have gone through more difficult things than this.¡¨ After all, how can we be sure that this is not part of God¡¦s plan to work miraculous things through us? Embrace all our joys and sorrows because life is not life if these two elements were not present.
