The Luck of the Draw followed by the Uncertainties in Life

Tweet

We make a beginning here but who decides when, where and why? If our parents did not meet, would we be born here? We are thrust into an unforgiving world and then start our fight to survive. Add to that, the constant uncertainties from all angles. Of course, we are better off than other species that have nothing to fall back upon in times of sickness. “No one owes us a living” is a stark reality for them compared to us. We will always be vulnerable to uncertainty despite whatever progress we make in terms of science and technology. Even famous seers like Nostradamus could not predict what is in store for us, though some build the reality around vague pronouncements. We do not know when, where, how and who will bid us the final goodbye here; that is some uncertainty! We are not aware whether and when any fatal sickness will show up. One can be fit as a fiddle and proud of the fitness and workout, but a poisonous snake can have the last laugh! I have known some who met the right person by chance to get big breakthroughs. I have also known some good for nothing treated like royalty by their spouses! We are dealt some cards and it is up to us to do our best though some curse their luck as they play along. I just grin and bear the uncertainties, laugh at myself, and that is what life is about. Life can be taken as deadly serious or just plain fun, though in between is my general take. I keep in mind everything is temporary and we are soon forgotten. How do you face the uncertainties of life? Image: Uncertainties of Life from Wikimedia Commons
